So I am in a fix and this is keeping me from going and buying new CPU . So I am a budget builder so every penny saved is a lot. I have 2 options-
1. i5-6402p with a Gigabyte H170 D3H mobo and avexir core green 8gb ddr4 single stick ram
2. i5-6500 with a Gigabyte g1.sniper b7 and avexir core green 8gb ddr4 single stick ram.
So the situation is budget is giving me 2 options, which are either a weaker cpu with a better h170 board or better cpu with a 1 tier lower motherboard a b150.
I don't need RAID feature from H170 but does the XMP profile help me to a 2400mhz ram on a board which supports 2133 by default.?
Please help, I will take my final decision based on the community's reply so please give me the best value for money option. Thank you in advance.
