Is this a overkill or not?

[Dhanesh Pratap]

I thinking to use a i5-7500 and Gtx 1060 with a Asus b250f ROG Strix Gaming Motherboard,

So, is b250f Strix motherboard a overkill for i5 7500 and Asus Gtx 1060 3gb Dual.

ryzen 1600 or 1400 would be better, get a used gtx 970 or wait for rx480/580 to restock.

maybe get a cheaper mobo if you have a locked cpu. theres no sense in going overboard if you dont plan on overcloking anyway, unless you want the asthetic of the motherboard

Dont get the 3Gb 1060, get the 6Gb or 480/580 if you can find one. Also get R5 instead of an i5, much better. But to answer your question, a motherboard can not be overkill. It does not affect performance, but rather the features available. So just get which ever is the cheapest that has all you want.

How's about Msi B250 PCMate?

You can't overclock on any B250 chipset

Oh xD. I'm a dumb I thought you could.

Sorry for the late reply. Get a board that has all the features on it that you want but don't go overboard on stuff you don't need. Like you probably don't need 8 ram slots if your using an i5 7500. The msi b250 pcmate looks like a good board and with the extra money you could upgrade something else but I also have to agree with @nerdslayer1 because right now i5's are just really not worth it.
