I need to match my new Intel i7-6700K LGA1151 CPU with a new (inexpensive?) motherboard to go with . The I bought is not the one I need. Suggestions? Thx.

connect to vga on pc to vga on monitor. if that works then go in bios and change graphic card from onboard to Dedicated card.

Should have done it automatically but just in case

OK the NEW board is here! I downloaded all the latest BIO, Drivers, etc. from MSI website. Should I put them on a flash drive or will they be ok on my hard drive? Any last minute advise before I swap it all out? :D

OK the seller/Amazon has agreed to a refund. I ordered the MSI Z170A KRAIT GAMING R6 SIEGE LGA 1151 Intel Z170 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s from new egg. Will be here from China in 6 -16 days... I'll be back. Thanks again.

Hope you get it sorted Mike.
I would be looking at a Z170 board Mike. H110 are more workstation focused. As your CPU is a K version a Z170 will give you more options.

The 1st board mad posted is decent and a good price, but another option here.

I did send the seller an email telling them that some of the pins in the CPU socket are damaged and the board is unusable. I have to wait for them to reply before Amazon will kick in.....61 yrs old and I'm STILL learning lessons!

So please refreash my memory and paste a link to ANY board I can use with my new/old processor please. I got a headache...

That looks knackered m8. You could try straighten, but I don't think it will help to be honest. Someone tried to jam the CPU in the wrong direction by looks of it :o

OK so the used, "like new condition" board got here today. CPU socket looks like some bent pins. What do you think?

Good point grey, you could always opt for a 240gb ssd to keep cost down. This is plenty big enough for the operating system. I have one and my pc boots up in 11 seconds

Should say as an afterthought Mike. When you can, treat yourself to Samsung 970 evo plus M2 SSD 500gig as a boot drive. You'll be impressed. Finish the build nicely :)
