Don't know if you can OC that 6100 with an H series board. I checked, and no bios update has been released to allow it. 

 

Here is a modified version of your 6100 build that can be overclocked: 

 
CPU: Intel Core i3-6100 3.7GHz Dual-Core Processor  ($129.99 @ Micro Center) 
Motherboard: ASRock Z170M-ITX/ac Mini ITX LGA1151 Motherboard  ($127.99 @ SuperBiiz) 
Case: Silverstone ML05B HTPC Case  ($40.99 @ SuperBiiz) 
Power Supply: SeaSonic 350W 80+ Certified SFX Power Supply  ($42.99 @ SuperBiiz) 
Total: $415.90
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

I know you said $350 max, but if you can spring it, this would be wayyyy better. 
 
 
CPU: Intel Core i5-6400 2.7GHz Quad-Core Processor  ($183.99 @ SuperBiiz) 
Motherboard: ASRock Z170M-ITX/ac Mini ITX LGA1151 Motherboard  ($127.99 @ SuperBiiz) 
Case: Silverstone ML05B HTPC Case  ($40.99 @ SuperBiiz) 
Power Supply: Silverstone 300W 80+ Bronze Certified SFX Power Supply  ($48.99 @ SuperBiiz) 
Total: $462.85
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

Either way, good luck with your build.

Shit, I believe you're right on that one. I will replace my first build with that, and see if my coworker is up for it, since I'll be building it for him, not myself.

I'm still wondering about multi-thread vs. single-thread on Photoshop not sure which it prefers.

A i5 5775C + Z97 is superior as the iGPU is FAR better and has that absurdly fast L4 dRAM cache

That L4 cache is pretty okay...

However... My DDR4 say's "Hello".
