1. Re: Looking For Help For a Motherboard Upgrade
Al Hill Jun 1, 2017 5:17 PM (in response to Peppercorn47)Unfortunately, Intel no longer makes desktop boards.
If I were going to build a new system today, I would look at using a 6th or 7th gen processor, and perhaps select a board that uses Intel Optane.
http://processormatch.intel.com/resources/Optane%20Ready%20MB-CompDB.pdf
Intel® Optane™ Memory Ready Motherboards
To select an Intel processor, I would use ARK | Processor Feature Filter and explore what was available using various parameters.
To explore ATX form factor boards, I would probably use a site like ATX, Intel Motherboards, Motherboards, Components - Newegg.com to help select a board.
For me, support and documentation, and drivers, are important considerations in selecting a product.
Hope this helps.

Thank you for contacting the Intel community.
These options that Al Hill posted above are really good recommendations and since you are looking for a system that last the next 5 or 7 years a 6th generation or 7th generation processor is great choice.
