Sorry, I meant H270. I've been up all night.  When I typed it I thought "Is that right?" I should have double checked.

isnt an h110 motherboard going to work?

 

it might work. that's why i suggested getting a b250 because it can be hard to find h110 motherboards with updated bios.

h270 is more expensive than b250 motherboards usually so i would suggest the b250 chipset instead.

they only started updating the bios at the manufacturer in January so it really depends on the retailer. i would say if you can find one with updated bios go for it but i wouldn't go on a treasure hunt for one.

yes. G1 gaming is pretty mediocre though, i'd get a different rx 480.

asking the seller doesn't take more than a few minutes to do, it's worth saving the money for something else.

i would stay away from the gigabyte rx 480s. i have heard some not so great things about their cooling.

Fair point, but H270 has more features.

 

Personally, I'd go with an Z270 just for the overclocking capability in case the OP decides to get an unlocked CPU in the future.  I feel it's worth the flexibility is worth the extra ~$20, but that's a personal choice that I know most people don't share.

cooling performance isn't good, i'd get something else unless it's really cheap.

I don't recommend Gigabyte, especially on motherboards.  In my experience, they end driver support way too early.

z270 is double the price of h110 and b250 in my country

really you either get a cheap motherboard and a locked cpu or you get an unlcoked motherboard paired with a nice z170 or z270 motherboard. the extra features with the h270 wont matter as much as what the money saved could do in the gpu department.

gigabyte is fine for motherboards. asus is one of the best motherboard manufacturers but they are usually more expensive.

Well that changes things entirely.  I recently got a Z270 motherboard for 80USD.

 

And ASUS is great.

yeah that is only a good idea if you plan on getting a new unlocked cpu in the next year or two. otherwise there is no point in getting an overclocking supporting motherboard with a cpu that doesn't support it.
