Hi, I'm currently in the process of building my very first computer, and a budget one at that. I was checking it's speed at http://www.userbenchmark.com when it flagged up an issue between my motherboard and my processor.
They both seem to have the same socket (LGA 1151), and i cannot find any other issues.

Is there a problem, and if so, what do you reccommend i change a part for at about the same price and performance. Here's my parts list. http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/Vcg3zy

Thanks in advance for any and all help that may come my way.

PS: The only reason i'm getting such a pricey GPU is a friend of mine is looking to upgrade his system and has taken good care of his 670.
 
Solution
H81 chipsets do not have 1151 pin sockets - they fit the older 1150 socket CPUs. If it's listed as 1151, it's mistaken. To fit the i3-6100, you need H110, B150, H170, or Z170.


PCPP would tell you about the compatibility issue if you hadn't added the i3 as a custom part. Because you added it as a custom part from a non-listed retailer, it doesn't actually know what CPU you have.
