Please Critique my Build!!!

[SillyWilly]

So I need help finding a good budget motherboard for this pc that I am making, and noone of the one suggested by pcpartpicker has good reviews on the suggested motherboards so I need help by someone more experienced, 1 More thing is that there is a compatibility note that I don't quite understand and if you could help me fix that problem, Thanks!

Get a DDR4 ram and H110 mobo

 

If you haven't already bought the 960 I'd suggest this build: http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/vR8Bjc

 

Get a cheaper Windows key from Kinguin for 38 CAD.

Would an AMD rx 480 or 470 be a better budget card?

The 1060 fits his budget so I went with that, but if he wants to save then the 470 is a good option for $60 less.

 

The 1060 3G is also a better alternative for about the same price as the 470.

>1060 3G vs 470/480 4GB

The only reason I bought the card I did was because of the cheap price, the 800 dollars includes the monitor and the OS

Assuming it's new, 180 CAD is a good price for a 960 even if it's just the 2GB.
