Hi guys, i'm a bit of stress after read a ton of article about building a pc, i don't know where to start.I'm newbie.
I want to build a pc with intel pentium g4400, I want motherboard that I can use on the next year when I can buy i5 or i7 skylake. I have a plan on future upgrade, I'm going to upgrade this my very first pc into a good gaming rig next year.

Oke, then now I start with intel g4400 that have 1151 socket. I need motherboard that support mAtx Case, because I'm going to build this pc with micro atx case.
I need motherboard that will compatible with intel skylake i5 or i7 in the future.

Then maybe you need to know how much my money that I can spend?
I have $400, I don't need to buy OS.

Would you please give a recommendation which motherboard I should buy? Or maybe you can give me a full list of component with $400 with intel g4400 that have the upgrade path?

In the end, thank you so much, I really need your help.

This includes some MIR costs, but it should play FIFA 16 even with 4X MSAA enabled.

Hi rcfprod, I want to build this pc to play fifa 16 or other game, since I know my budget limited around $400 I figured it out that I can't have a good component, so i think if i go with pentium g4400 i can have a good component on psu,case,ram,hdd or other part. So i hope with $400 i have a pc part that i can use on the future that compatible with i5 or i7 . Yes i need vga card too,if i can get good vga card with $400 budget it would be amazing. For now I'm okay if I can't play my game with $400, i'm gonna use this pc for browse internet for now, but at least I can have a good build that ready to go into good gaming system when I can buy i5 or high quality vga card.

Otherwise a cheaper case like this will get you close enough to 400 USD without MIR:
