Best budget Motherboard for i5 6400?

shyam1111 · Jan 31, 2016

Hello All,

My current SPEC's are :

AMD Phenom II 940 3Ghz
Gigabyte 780G Mobo
4 GB DD2 800 Mhz RAM
CM Hyper 212 Cooler
Corasir CX430 Bronze with 32A in 12v rail
19 inch samsung monitor
Deep cool Tesseract Case

I'm planning on buying a new SYSTEM with SPECs as below :

Intel Core i5 6400 - Rs 13,000 or 200$
DDR3 1600Mhz 4Gb X 2
24 Inch Dell S2415H monitor
MSI GTX 960 2GB OC

Can u guys please suggest a good motherboard for this build.
Since i'm having phenom 940, it may bottleneck gtx 960.
That is the reason i'm getting a new CPU and mobo.
Kndly suggest if anything has to be changed like RAM or CPU or GPU.
Thanks in advance

Is the B150M Pro4 within budget? It's a pretty solid board.

Is the Intel B150 chipset better than Z170 chipset?

I was looking for this mobo :

Is this gigabyte board better than ASRock B150M Pro4?

The Gigabyte board is pretty solid, will let you overclock the BLCK for better performance aswell.

Go for it.

Thanks for the suggestion...

So i was thinking maybe this would be sufficient-> DDR4

And the i5 6400 Processor... Kindly suggest if this is OK....

And also i'm planning on buying the GTX 960 2gb ....will the Phenom 940 handle the 960 without any bottleneck??

I'm purchasing a new processor only for the purpose of handling GTX 960...

What should i do?

DDR4 link doesn't seem to be working correctly.

Well it depends. if you turn these down a bit since they're CPU intensive then it should run at least 45+ FPS stable, are you running the 960 with the phenom while you're saving up for the i5?

CPU Intensive Tasks:
Physics
Sound
Animation & Animation Interpolation
Particles
Decals
Polygons
Dynamic Lighting/Shadows
Water reflection

DDR4 RAM

I havent bought the 960 yet...
Since my PSU is CX430 i cant go for R9 390 or GTX 970.....

My query was that if i retain the phenom 940 ,, will i be able to use full potential of 960....

Right now i have AMD phenom 940 and no graphics card BTW....

The DDR4 sticks you mentioned are pretty good, go for it.

Well no, you won't be able to make full use of the 960, Should render completely playable framerates though.
