cpu and motherboard advice

[decimusbell]

Hi all

 

been a long time since ive build anything so need advice on motherboard/cpu combination. 

 

The PC will mostly be used for internet, office, video, downloading, a little Photoshop/illustrator. only gaming done is football manager and cities skyline- non-graphical games

The PC is on all day every day but wont be overclocked/stretched. 

Most of the build is done. i wanted high quality, trusted components but now i need to think about the best motherboard cpu combo that will do everything i need. My thoughts were i5 with a asrock itx motherboard, but now amd has the vega graphics. Not looking for a graphics card- onboard only. 

Also i have no idea whether i need a H370 or Z370 or X470 etc etc. 

basically im stuck and would love some advice.

You can go intel but it will be more expensive and their integrated graphics suck compared to AMD.

The 3700x doesn't have integrated graphics unfortunately.

This MSI board is better than the Asrock one (ITX) for like 2€ more.
