I'm planning to build my first PC for music production and gaming, it was a choice between the FX 8350 and the i5 6500, I decided to go for the i5.
I want to keep it below £400 or anything close to that, I need something quiet and something that can be upgraded in the future, but I want it to last at least 5+ years.
I am having trouble choosing between the b150, h170 motherboards and a case to go with it although I want the case in my part list, I want something that looks good too.
-I don't want fans making loads of noise
-I want a lot of 3.0 USB ports / 2 front / 6 back
-I want a slot for a graphics card later on when I get one
-A slot for a WIFI card maybe and enough room
and that's all I can think of right now, this is my part list so far.
