Decided to change the motherboard @PCGuy_5960 @JurunceNK 

Alright, thanks for the help guys and to the guys above ^_^ I really appreciate the help.

Hopefully this new Mobo/CPU/RAM/OS works out well.

 

And for the OS, I might just build the PC then put in the USB-Stick into the motherboard port when I boot it up for the first time and try to freshly install Windows 10 and reclaim the 2TB Capacity on my HDD, it's a pain but it will probably be better.

Budget is 450-470 GBP for the Mobo/CPU/RAM/OS altogether.

Haven't got a set budget for each part lol

 

So far, I've got this: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/DvPDHN - I wanna stay under 500 but was hoping for a better aesthetic mobo lol and maaaybe an ATX one but I'm not bothered if it's mATX or ATX, as long as it fits and works.

It's more or less the RAM that's taking up most of the budget :( Think I'll stick with a 1600, seems like a good choice

you could go to reddits microsoft software swap or kinguin for the os and save much $, probably enough to get that strix mobo...

Yeah that's true but I don't trust those personally,

I know that loads of people have purchased from there but I dunno, I just prefer to buy it brand new but thanks for the suggestion though :P

It's a shame yeah true but oh well.

Hey I'm Xiauj ^_^ Wassup :3

Status-update -^ :P

 

I decided to change the motherboard after all because yeah I dunno, something about the GIGABYTE board that put me off momentarily, gonna go with an ASUS B350-F Motherboard instead, I hear ASUS has great quality and that GIGABYTE's customer service is apparently awkward.

Hey I'm Xiauj ^_^ Wassup :3
