I am being a superbly good boyfriend and building my girlfriend's little brother a PC for "school" *cough"GAMING*cough*. I created a thread in the past to vet the parts list I came up with and this is what my list combined with the community on tom's hardware came up with:

http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/fzFBsY

That being said:
1. Motherboard is on back order on NCIX and I would like to replace it with another one to build the PC in time for his next session at school.
- OLD: http://www.ncix.com/detail/asrock-h110m-dgs-intel-skylake-1151-e2-122251.htm

- NEW (one I have chosen that has similar specs): http://www.ncix.com/detail/msi-h110m-pro-vd-matx-lga1151-51-120226.htm

I would like to know if the new motherboard I have chosen will be compatible with the parts list I've linked above, or if any of you see any glaring red flags.


Furthermore, I would like to get a relatively inexpensive wifi (under 25$?) card from NCIX as well but I don't really know where to start for that. The one in the PC part picker list is also on back order -_- Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks all
 
Motherboard is fine.
Do not make the mistake of buying two separate ram sticks.
They may not work together.
Buy a kit of two sticks.

I think 120gb is too small today for windows. I suggest buying a 240gb ssd and omitting the hard drive.
If/when it gets filled up, you can decide if a hard drive or a larger ssd is appropriate for expansion.

Thanks for the info about the motherboard. As for the ram sticks, they've already been purchased. If they do not work I will return them and follow your advice of buying a kit of two sticks. The SSD has also already been purchased but I appreciate the advice.

For the wifi card, this is what I was thinking of getting to replace the one in the pc part list that is on back order:

NEW: http://www.ncix.com/detail/asus-pce-n15-300mbps-802-11b-g-n-wireless-fb-62842-1935.htm#CustomerReviews

Thoughts?
