Hey! I'm looking to build a new PC. I will be using a 240GB SSD, and a 1TB HDD, the two I am looking at is the WD Black 1TB & Blue 1TB. I've done some research and found out that the WD Blue 1TB is about the same as the WD Black 1TB, but the Blue is $20 cheaper. I've also heard that the Black is more reliable. Out of the two, which one would you guys suggest?

What B150 board would you suggest?

No I have not bought anything yet. And no, specific features. Just a decently fast reliable computer. I was going with older gen stuff mainly because the skylake CPU's do not include a stock cooler. Also I didn't feel like switching to DDR4. That doesn't mean I wont end up using a skylake :). I will keep looking. Thankyou!

Hey! I've been gathering parts for my dads build for around a month (he will be using it for business only). And I'm in a constant struggle trying to find a good, reliable motherboard that's 100$ or under. I have the CPU picked out, (Intel Core i3-4160). which is a Haswell Refresh CPU. And any motherboard I find that would work that is a decent price, they all need a BOIS update before installing a Haswell Refresh CPU. So I was wondering if you guys could suggest a good reliable motherboard/chipset that wont need a BOIS update before installing this CPU. Reliability is top on his priority list. (I don't have another CPU lying around that's not a Haswell Refresh. so I can't just install that for a BOIS update). Also please keep it below 100$. Thank you for your time!
