Hi!
Im helping a friend choosing parts and pushing the budget a bit on this cheap gaming build so I chose the cheapest MB, but it really does seem limited and memory speed is lower than the chosen ram(and its not under supported ones), is it fine or should i change some things(like worse GPU/smaller ssd/4gb RAM etc. for better MB)

CPU: Core I3-6100
MB:H110M PRO-VH http://www.msi.com/product/motherboard/H110M-PRO-VH.html#hero-specification
RAM:Corsair Vengeance LPX Black 8GB (2x4GB) 2400MHz CL14 1.2V
GPU:GTX 950
PSU:CORSAIR VS Series 450W http://www.corsair.com/en-us/vs-seriestm-vs450-450-watt-power-supply
Case:CM Force 251 http://www.coolermaster.com/case/cm-force/cm-force-251/
SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 250gb

Thanks!

I would degrade the GPU abit and upgrade the CPU, sometimes lower level CPUs such as i3 don't run well with high end GPUs. Ram is fine, you need 8GB nowadays really but anything more is unnecessary. SSD is good but not exactly required, you will be fine with a normal HDD, they are also much cheaper. SSD only effects loading time and noise.

here everything is more expensive, could be some ~500$ in US, this setup is around 570EUR here, the guy wanted 600EUR including(a cheap) monitor. budget is flexible but i dont know exactly how much, and i would like to get i3 and gtx950 in the build, though if its too much there could be some cuts
