And I'm not going through the hassle of learning a new OS just to cut a relatively minor cost.

Keep in mind, everyone, my budget is there for a reason. I don't want a cheapo case that looks ridiculous. I prefer classy, more mature design, and the S340 is one of the most popular cases on the market. And I need an OS to use the darn computer at all, and I refuse to use the nearly outdated Windows 7, so that only leaves 10 (which I have had fantastic experiences with, by the way).

you can get the media creation tool and download an unactivated version of windows ten to a flash drive then download it to your computer it will work the same unactivated it just will have a watermark and you cant customize settings. you can still change wallpaper by right clicking on photo and setting it as that

Hey, just remembered (don't even know how I forgot, I literally commented this on basically every budget build I saw yesterday)  - get your OS at kinguin, it's like 30 bucks or something.

Want to know which mobo to get?

Spoiler

Choose whatever you need. Any more, you're wasting your money. Any less, and you don't get the features you need.

 

Only you know what you need to do with your computer, so nobody's really qualified to answer this question except for you.

Another thing: I want an aftermarket cooler because the stock ones are ugly as sin, and I do place value on aesthetics. I want to look at the machine when I'm done and feel like I've built something far more expensive than it is.

 

There is no color theme I'm going for, though. That was just coincidence.

With a case and OS, that build goes over the upper limit of my budget. I do like the i5-6500. Don't know how I skimmed over that. I'll make some changes real quick. Thank you for the input.

wn10 for $20:

get a case that's $90 (tax included) or less since you value aesthetics and follow some other peoples PC parts picker lists and you're golden.

I'd go with this personally, though you can knock $50+ off by getting windows from MS software swap and reallocate the funds elsewhere.
