New Pc Build Advice

[Tron707]

Just put together this Pc I already own a R9370 which I will put into it. Other than that anything else I should switch out with a budget of no more than 600 cad?

You would need to update the BIOS on that motherboard with a skylake CPU (I believe you cannot update the bios with a kaby lake on 1xx series chipsets)

Drop to an i5 6500 instead or get a B250 board.

@deXxterlab97 What would be the difference between a b250 and the h110 board?

B250 has extra 2 ram slot (4 in total) for expandibility in the future. Also it supports Kaby Lake CPU out of the box (7th gen cpu)

H110 only has 2 RAM slots and need a BIOS update to use with Kaby. In order to do BIOS update you need a CPU that is compatible which is a Skylake 6th gen.

Native support for the 7000 series CPU's. Either need to buy a cheap Kaby Lake CPU to flash or have someone nearby who could. Good chance you put that all together and it won't post
