Best Budget Z370 Motherboards for Intel Core i5 8400 8600K & i3 8350K

As we have discussed many times before, Intel 8^th gen processors are quite popular among gamers. These coffee lake processors used LGA 1150 socket motherboards. However, Intel has introduced Z370 chipset which offers the brand new Intel LGA 1151 socket. Fortunately, this socket is designed to replace the older LGA 1150 socket, and it is capable of taking most out of the Intel 8^th gen processor. Like most of the people, we also think that the Core i5 8400 is an excellent choice since i3 is a bit less powerful and i7 is way too expensive.

Best Budget Z370 Motherboards

Today, we are discussing some budget motherboards for i5 8400 processor, which uses the Z370 chipset. We have covered all the essential technical details so you can adequately understand these products. Since the pricing of the Z370 platform has considerably decreased from its initial launch prices, they have become attractive. A combination of a mid-tier motherboard and a matched processor would suffice the needs of most users.

How have we selected the Motherboards?

We picked up the parts based on its performance, features, and a sub $200 pricing. Some of these motherboards also come with mATX options, in addition to regular ATX ones. In case if you are concerned about the pricing too high, or missing some key features, do let us know by dropping us a line below in the comments section.

So without any further delay, here is the list of best budget Z370 motherboards for i5 8400 and other Intel 8^th gen processors. Here we go:
