Picking a Motherboard

[Princess Luna]

Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening

I was considering to go with a i5 6600k+z170m-PLUS however thanks to some clarifications from @Morgan MLGman (Really appreciated that) I changed my CPU pick to the i7 7600, since I no longer require a overcloackable mobo I have room to buy a cheaper one, being Brazilian it is common that prices here especially due to our Brazilian Real being weaker compared to the US Dollar are higher so every penny saved makes a difference, I have found the mATX B150M-C for roughly 147 Dollars, and the H110M-C for 95 Dollars, this roughly 50 dollars gap can help me out a lot with gas etc so it Does make a difference to me, about the of the H110m-c; it only has 2 memory slots, I know many would consider this very limiting however my intention is to go with 8gb RAM(DDR4 2133mhz) in dual channel so only 2 slots are sufficient for me, and 8gbs are still enough for all high end gaming right? I do not intent SLI or anything in fact aside from the single GPU I'll only use PCI-e for a wifi card.

Again, the costs in here are high (or maybe salary is just too low one or another xD) so a high end gaming PC can only be build "slowly" per say, I was given by a friend a 1680x1050p monitor and a GTX 560Ti which will serve me temporarily while I save more money to my end rig which would be (along side the i7 6700+8gbRAM+700w PSU) a GTX 1070 with a 25'' ultra wide 2560x1080p monitor. So would I be fine with the cheaper Motherboard for the rest of the intended hardware? Considering I expect to play anything available today on max graphical settings possible for that 2560x1080p resolution, for storage I'll originally use a given to me HDD 7200rpm 1TB, I might however buy a 120GB SSD futurely for Windows and such and I have a DVD/CD Drive so we're talking about at max 3 SATA ports required.

Forgot to mention, the case I have in mind is a Sharkoon ATX VG4-W:

Yes it doesn't matter much for a cheaper mobo

Try to push for 16 gb... Some newer games can use around 9 gb of ram (Rainbow 6 Siege in my case)

 

Edit: You can buy a 650 W psu since you aren't going to OC.

Yeah a cheaper mobo should be fine

I wish I could but that would end up costing me pretty much the double even If I went with like the cheapest 8gb kingston ram, and like I said every penny saved is important here.

unlike the GPU that I can buy later on since I was given the GTX 560Ti I have no RAM on me, I could though give up on the dual channel and go with a single 8gb stick to some day buy a second equal one but I have doubts about the quality of dual channel with memory sticks bough with a few months gap, any thoughts on that?

As long as it's the same exact brand and type with the same frequency, you should be fine.

It depends on if the cheaper board has everything you need feature wise. Looking at the specs of each board side by side, the B110M-C has the following:

• 1 more PCIe 3.0 x16 (both have 4 PCIe slots however only one of the H110M-C slots is PCIe 3.0 x16)
• 2 more Sata 6Gb/s ports
• 2 more rear USB 3.0/2.0 ports
• 2 less USB 2.0/1.1 ports at the rear (B110M-C ends up have 2 more ports if you count the ones at mid-board

If the H110M-C has everything you need where you need it then it's a no-brainer to get the cheaper board. If you know what's important to you (i.e. how many USB ports you want or how many SATA connections you want), the use PCpartpicker and set filters for the maximum you want to spend and what features you want the board to have. If i was looking for a board and wanted to be able to connect a couple SSDs and a couple disk drives (who uses them anymore though  lol), the H110M-C would work, but wouldn't leave any SATA ports for future expansion.

definitely do this 

[Princess Luna]

Thank you very much to everyone who assisted, I'll go with the cheaper one since like mentioned it does have everything I'll need, having more would be a luxury I do not have the money to spend on hehe, Also I would like to thank for the memory clarifications, I checked some benchmarks and realized that in gaming the dual channel does not make that much of a difference against single channel therefore I'll go with a single 8gb stick and add another one when I have the $ for it instead of going with dual 4gb sticks.

Cheers!

650W? He'd be golden with a 500W one with such build.

I like to keep out of the 500W range with these builds, ya know ? PSU can go through a couple of builds before we end up tossing them.

GPUs only get more efficient, I doubt his power consumption will exceed 500W ever, unless he goes multi-GPU.

I appreciate the idea and believe me I would go with something in the 500~600 range however my hardware shop website made a black friday promotion that was simply too good to ignore, a Zalman 700W Dual Forward Power Supply ZM700-GLX I link a video of it's unboxing at the end.

It was half the price which was slightly cheaper than the best corsair/cooler master 500w PSU's available there, maybe because Zalman is a brand in the middle term the product didn't sold too well thus why the price drop on black friday, but all the reviews about it were quite promising.

the product itself looks of very good quality and it is "real 700w" if anything I'll be safe in the upgrading the PC hardware side as long as the durability of this product really is as good as promised since like mentioned 700w will be enough even for future SLI's.
