LGA-1151 Mobo that supports these things

[Vaxify]

I am looking for the cheapest motherboard that will be able to support these things, I found a few, but they only support DDr4 Ram, and I am not looking to upgrade my ram.

CPU: Intel I3 6100

GPU: SAPPHIRE NITRO Radeon R9 380

PSU: EVGA 500 W1 80+

Ram: HyperX Fury 8GB DDR3 1866Mhz (2x4GB)

How much would you consider "cheap"?

[Nacho Marco Segui]

Using ddr3 with Skylake chips can cause some issues, you can go Haswell if you want

[Coaxialgamer]

1_Switch to night theme

2_Watch in horror as you realise what the post looks like

3_ Switch color to "Automatic"

 

also , this is the cheapest skylake board that supports ddr3 . But please , just get ddr4

[TheRandomness]

Please get a different PSU, that one is awful in terms of internal quality.

[Vaxify]

I can probably just upgrade to DDR4 Ram if it will cause issues.

@Vaxify

welcome to the forums

remember to quote or mention the person you're replying so they get a notification

 

i would recommend against using normal DDR3 for skylake as it officially supports DDR3L

using DDR3 for skylake for the long term may damage the chip

 

i would recommend going haswell or DDR4

but it should do fine for his rig, its not under heavy load anyway

but if the op have yet to buy it, choose a better one by all means

Is it ok for just an i3?

Probably, but not with an R9 380.

I've seen people use the I3 6100 with the R9 380, I'm not a hardcore gamer but they still received fairly good FPS.

 

Also I just came across this video, which kind of helps me with the original question.

I meant the PSU.

keep it if you already own it,

pick a better one if you havent bought it

 

that psu isnt the best, but it should do just fine

but i would definitely pick a better one if you havent bought it yet

Only thing I have bought was the Ram, but I have yet to purchase anything else. Glad I haven't.. I am new to building PC's, not very experienced at all as you can see.

Well you came to the right place Already know how to put one together right?

i recommend going haswell then, dont use normal DDR3 on skylake for the reason i mentioned above

 

as for a psu,

personally i would choose the EVGA SuperNOVA G2, the other options are fine as well, but of lower quality

I have a good friend who would help me put it together and everything, but I am sure I would be capable of doing it myself.

 

But Right now, I have a $440 budget. I was hoping to still get the R9 380 no matter what, and was hoping to get the i3 6100 as it's possibly the best CPU for it's price and would great with my GPU. But for the Ram, MOBO and Power Supply, I am some what not so sure about currently.

Well considering the R9 380 goes for around 200ish US I don't know how likely this will turn out for you. But I wish you the best of luck dude <3

Do you know what you are going to do about a case?

I already got a case, with fans, cpu cooler, and a SSHD drive. So I am clear with that. I know that it's rough having a $200 GPU in such a low budget build, but aha maybe it'll turn out, or I could just end up getting more money shortly.

 I put the 430 one in my granny's pc and it has an i3 4170. The only upgrade is maybe a 750ti

Yeah, I was about to consider switching to a 4170, as well it would save me the hassle of getting DDR4 ram, and well I was looking into it a bit more and there's not such a major difference in performance..

yeap, not much performance difference

 

but people generally recommend 6100 because it uses ddr4

higher bandwidth ram will have several benefits in cpu intensive tasks

as well as probably being able to carry to the next rig lol, ddr3 is probably dead by the time you're upgrading

Haha yeah, but I like I said before am not much of a hard core gamer. I'm looking to eventually upgrade my PC a lot more, but that would be in about a year or 8 months, and my old PC broke, so I'm just trying to get a good build to last me.
