it depends on the generation of that processor currently using 8th generation processes support H310, B360, H370, Z370 chipset and their features are increasing in that order. Mainly please choose Z370 motherboard if you have an unlock K series processor because it allows overclocking the CPU
If you send us the specific processor and other parts of your build we will able to send the correct chipset you need
