I only need the intel's 8th gen and above iGPU, so cpu speed and cores and performance is not important for me.

Can anybody suggest a G series (or i3, if ) cpu, or a cheap motherboard for it?

Mobo requirements:
Got NVME (possible?)
x16 + x8 slot or x8 + x8 slot

2 ram slots minimum

I don't need > 1 USB port. I don't mind China boards, but I have no idea which model to start looking for.

What is your budget. Are you interested in Lenovo desktop with i3-8100? Got nvme slot and include wifi+bluetooth adapter.

no real budget. but as I said I want cheap, so I'm guessing less than 1k for a full system?

It's gonna be a very cheap-to-run headless system, hence the preference of G (and maybe i3) cpu.

I know it's a bit weird to not use the igpu, but need igpu biggrin.gif
