Alright, after reading the replies, I understand that I don't necessarily need a GPU (and the i3-6100 has an integrated GPU) to install Windows and use it. I'll just have to plug in my USB with the Windows 10 ISO to boot up into the Windows 10 installer. If I ever need to boot into BIOS for some reason, I'll press the Delete Key multiple times upon rebooting to make it show up. I forgot to mention all he ever does is just watching movies, YouTube videos and Facebook. His old notebook was an 11-inch ASUS plugged into a 19-inch LED monitor (just for the sake of enjoying movies in a bigger screen). I think he'll definitely enjoy the i3-6100 and 510 more than the Pentium and HD3000. Thanks a lot! It will really help my friend.

Hello there. This is a beginner question and I never built a PC before (yet) so bear with me. My friend decided to buy a PC without a GPU because he's not really into gaming, and he wants to purchase one later when he has the money to. He's buying: MSI H110M-PRO VD Intel i3-6100 Kingston HyperX Fury 4GB 2133 MHz WD Caviar Blue 1 TB Corsair VS450 Most PC Builds I've seen online has GPUs in them when installing Windows and they have this graphical logo upon start and no graphics card means no graphical logo on top. How can I boot into the BIOS since it just suddenly jumps into "Insert media that is a boot drive..." or something like that? A letter combination on the keyboard? Do I have to use a PS/2 Keyboard or a USB will do? I assume you can go into the BIOS without a GPU right to install Windows 10 via Bootable USB? Can I use Rufus for the bootable USB or I have to use the official Windows USB installer? Thanks a lot!

Alrighty, apparently, the only overclocking thing in the motherboard was in the GPU part in which I don't have any interest in as well. Based on what you said, I'm thinking of getting the MSI B150M Night Elf with one 8GB 2133 MHz Kingston HyperX Fury RAM stick. The MSI website said that the motherboards only support 2133 MHz and anything higher clocked will still run at the basic 2133 MHz speed. Do I have to spend more on the motherboard to get one that supports higher speeds? Sadly, the Intel SSDs here are cheaper compared to the Samsung 850 ones. I'll upgrade to the 240GB Intel 535 one. Although, there's the Kingston variants namely UV400, SSDnow, and HyperX that is about $15-20 less than the Intel one (which I don't mind paying). The Intel one should be worth the price, right? I think it performs quite better than the Kingstons I mentioned. Thank you! A mistake in my part. I thought it was. It was only in the GPU overclock. I don't mind the aesthetics. In fact, I'm thinking of just downgrading it a bit to a B150M Night Elf instead with one 8GB 2133 MHz Kingston HyperX Fury RAM stick. Looking at it, it should give me a good constant FPS (hopefully around 144+ in medium since my monitor would benefit from it? CSGO is the only title I know will surely shoot above 144 FPS)? I'm not gonna be upgrading the rig to the extremes like fitting bigger, hungrier, and inefficient part. PCPartPicker reports my rig consuming 330W. I could, however, afford the 620w variant of the Seasonic, but isn't +100W too much? If so, I think I'm already safe with the 520w. I'll consider the Cooler Master Hyper 212. It should help me keep the temperatures in check despite me not overclocking anything. I'll be cautious on installing it. Thank you!

Hello there! This is my first time posting in the forums after watching many videos over at LinusTechTips. It's also my first time on building a PC. Hopefully, I'll get enough money by September and post it here once I build it! I spent enough years gaming on my old i5-2450M + GT630M laptop. Here are the parts: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/3spKBP Things to note: - I'm located in the Philippines (not in the US, just using PCPartPicker as reference). - Parts are more expensive here, but not by much that I can't afford. - Games I'm definitely going to play (1080p Medium) : CSGO, Rocket League, GTA V, Overwatch, Fallout 4, Project CARS - I'm not a fan of High or Ultra or Maxed out graphics settings - The GPU price in the list is in my local price, which is quite normal since the supply is currently limited. I'm anticipating a price drop hopefully in the next few weeks. Questions: - I have no plans of overclocking, even in the future. Do I need to have a motherboard like the one indicated in my list or should I go to a basic one to save money? - Do I need a CPU cooler or the stock cooler is good enough? It kind of looks difficult to install an aftermarket CPU cooler in my perspective. - Does having Nahimic Enchancement for Audio in your motherboard worth the premium price? - The RX 480 has no support for DVI. Will that be a problem? I'll be purchasing a DisplayPort to get 144 Hz anyways. - Is the PSU capable enough of handling my build? I'm confident on picking the brand since JohnnyGuru praised the Seasonic S12ii-520W for its great quality. - Will I be able to take advantage of the 144 Hz Monitor that much in the games I listed? I assumed they're going to run at frames more than 60 that no tearing should be visible. - Lastly, any more improvements I can make to this build or maybe cut some corners on some parts I spent too much on? Thank you!
