i5-6500 I dunno, others can chime in.

What you going to do with it?

Just game, video edit, render, fold?

Just be sure your PSU is Tier 1.

 

If the price diff isnt much, go for the H170.

 Hello there. I'm buying all my PC parts tomorrow and I'm looking over everything right now. I have a MSI H110M Gaming mother board in my cart. Now when I install everything and start the PC up then install WIN10 through a USB, will I be able to go into my browser and download all of the MOBO bios updates, utilities and drivers? Or do I need to use a USB?

Go with the H170, the H110 is the lowest of the low with 2 ram slots. Or go with the B series, it has 4 slots or ram.

 What would you suggest then? I went with this mobo because it was cheap within my budget. I only have about 10 more dollars I can squeeze in there. So a 70 dollar mobo.

I would suggest as I said a B150 series cuz its not that much more money. Or the H170.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGA_1151

 

What size of case are you doing?

What cards are you putting in?

 

Well since your location is Texas, and you say $70, its USD, and thats $1,000,000 cdn loonies, ok ok no no its $100. I'd say if I remember correctly, about that, or $120cdn. Z170 is $150cdn. But your stuff in the US is cheaper so I dunno.

 

What chip you using?

 

Buy an ASUS, or Gigabyte or MSI or ASSRock. In that order. If I were you, I'd just buy an ASUS cuz they ARE the best.

There is a list somewhere, LTT has an updated one.

But I usually type in Tomshardware PSU tier and it pops up, but I was told thats an outdated list.

Maybe try searching here on LTT, because you dont want to spend that kind of money and end up with a tier 4 crappy PSU.

How can I tell what tier it is?
