The ram is going to be used so I won't change that. For hosting several VMs and servers...
Anything that I can change that's less expensive and better for performance and gaming?

Show a motherboard that would be good using the chipset you said

yea, thats the only thing i think will lower the price without hugely cripling the performance, the 6400 even tho at 2.7ghz will turbo to 3.3 not loosing performance, and that b150 is packed so i guess thats about it unless you can find a even cheaper heatsink since that i5 wont go past 60c even after 1 hour on full load (ive tested it on the pc that i posted on the other entry)
