Motherboard for new build!

[thereal_ale]

I'm making a new build and i was hoping if anyone can help me decide which motherboard to pick.

the build right now includes:

-CPU: Intel I5 - 6500 (so lga1151 socket)

-GPU: Msi Gtx 960 4G

-Memory: HyperX Fury ddr4 2133MHZ 1 slot 8GB

so the MOBO needs an lga 1151 socket and needs to support ddr4 rams.

i was going for the MSI H110M PRO-VD and it seemed like the right bang for the buck, however i was also looking for something that could support Wlan and bluetooth. I thought that i could add a wlan pci 1x card but i can't really pick one.

Can anyone suggest a good wifi/bluetooth pci 1x card or a better mobo that includes those features?

Thanks in advance for any help, i really appreciate it

Have you already bought everything you specified?

Most mITX mobo's come with either an M.2 wireless card or a reciever that you plug in at the back, and since you will use only 1 RAM slot and those have only 2, i belive any H110, H170, etc.. will suffice. For example, ASrock H110M-ITX/AC should be a nice choise.

Getting Bluetooth and wireless on a pci e cards isn't easy as they are normally the mini ones meant for laptops. The one I got is:  Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260. I'm not sure it they all come with the pci e adapter and antenna (on Amazon i don't think it does)

There are couple things you didn't metioned.

1) How much do you want to spend on it?

2) Do you want it just to work or be also nice looking?

 

You can easily buy an pcie wireless card, but for bt I recomend buying a USB-to-USB header adapter and then connect a USB bt module to it.

thanks! the one you suggested seems like it will get the job done  also it costs just 10$ more than the msi one that i was thinking on buying before.

i'm not really an expert on this. do you believe that i can use the ones meant for laptops on a normal pc?

i really just want it to work,so the cheapest will be great. can you suggest me a pcie wireless card? also if you know any bt module? thanks

only if  the motherboard you get has the right slot (mini pci e) else you need to get the pci e adapter and you will need antenna for both cases

I had (I accidently smashed it) a 10$ BT module and it worked just fine. It had 20M range and was pretty fast. I'm from Poland so I don't use Amazon but I found 10$ BT usb module. I don't know the specs.
