Don't get a z170 board on a non k cpu

[JakeNTech]

Looks good. Why not go for a 8 core AMD cpu. http://www.amazon.com/AMD-FD8350FRHKBOX-FX-8350-8-Core-Processor/dp/B009O7YUF6/ref=sr_1_5?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1463597510&sr=1-5&keywords=8+core+amd

I wouldn't recommend getting a 120gb SSD.
You end up very limited on space and have to do a lot of space management.

This too. You don't need a Z board and could save some money there.

Any  desktop i5 will completely outperform any AMD CPU.

the i5-6500 would beat the 8core by a mile

Well why did you recommend it then?

[JakeNTech]

If you are going to build a PC on a budget the AMD stuff can be better value

[AndreyZ]

I forgot to mention.I am using this PC for programming, mainly web development, and gaming.I like to play games , but I am not hard core gamer.As far as the AMD suggestions , I had two AMD CPU`s in the past.My current is 955 - black edition.I want to try an Intel CPU now, that`s why I am not going for AMD build this time.

The budget is around 500 $ / I am from Bulgaria so any retailors outside Europa are not an option.

You'd only want AMD if you really needed an FX 8 core on the cheap for multi-threaded performance vs an i5, overall possibly better for programming depending on what you want to do, it would also let you get 16gbs of RAM for the same price, which again might be better,

 

In any case you should probably invest into 16gbs of RAM so you don't have to worry about it

Look for one of these boards from MSI, VD or Gaming H110/B150 they have solid power delivery and USB 3.1

For a Motherboard I am considering http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-LGA1151-Intel-Motherboard-GA-H170M-D3H/dp/B012N6LM1Y , the ASRock H170 Pro4/D3 ATX LGA1151

does not have dual bios.Better safe than sorry
