I'm working on building a budget gaming pc and I'm not sure if the H110 chipset is going to bottle neck since it only has 6 2.0 pci-e lanes. Here is a link to my build.http://pcpartpicker.com/list/KG2HGf

Are you ever going to use the extra lanes?

 

Also go for an RX 470 over a 3GB 1060, at minimum you'll want the 6gb 1060, plus the 470 saves you a good amount of money should you upgrade to an adaptive sync display

In addition don't buy a kingston SSD, and get a 240gb SSD minimum

 

Also spend more on your PSU rather than on your case, that PSU is very low end

the MSI VD boards are probably best in class for budget boards, solid power delivery and USB 3.1

You don't have anything in that build which will use chipset PCIe lanes anway. The H110 won't affect the performance of that build. 

 

I would advise swapping the SSD to something like the Kingston HyperX Fury or A-Data SP550. Just not the V300, basically. 

 

PSU should also be changed. It's cheap, but it's terrible. You can pick up a Corsair CXM 550W for a good price through MIR and a discount code on NewEgg. http://pcpartpicker.com/product/3hkwrH/corsair-power-supply-cp9020102na

Kingston have some of the best SSDs on the market. I'd agree not to get the V300, but there's no reason to avoid Kingston as a whole. 

Rather not support them at all
