Hey guys i am upgrading pc for first time, i believe this is the best way to find solutions. i am upgrading my pc. probably looking for intel built but i confused between Skylake 1151 or Haswell 1150 and which best mobo for them under Rs - 9k / $135?. i am also having thoughts about ASUS H110M-A, MSI B150M PRO-VDH, Gigabyte GA-H110M-S2, GIGABYTE GA-B150M-D3H, if i am going for 1151 Socket. if you have any thought rather than those mobo please suggest me, i am not into overclocking, i am just mid - high gamer, and editing stuff
My old / current pc specs are below
MOBO - Gigabyte g41m combo
CPU - Core 2 Duo e7300 2.66ghz
GPU - MSI GTX 9602g gaming edition
PSU - Antec 550vp
Cabinet - Corsair spec -02

What is your budget for your cpu? You said you are not overclocking so I will suggest you get a MSI B150M NIGHT ELF, MSI B150 GAMING M3. Don't for the h110M.

I highly suggest that you don't cheap out too much on your...

Hi, i'm just a beginner and also building a new intel pc. I can suggest going for the B/H 170's. For the brand, Since my old gear is gigabyte i can vouch to that brand. Regarding asus though , they have good boards but some feedbacks from my peers and other customers say that they experience issues unless it is a high end one above $180(in my opinion). Are you going to upgrade your cpu too?.

Go for the 1151 socket if it's within your budget.( keep in mind that you also need a new ddr4 ram).


For the cpu it's either go for the i3-6100 or i5-6400/6500 to compensate efficiently with your gtx 960.I do not mean there is nothing wrong with your current CPU and all.

About MSI B150M MORTAR, It's also good but comparing it to the two that I've suggested, It would differ from features, Too many to mention. Also aesthetics comes to play when choosing between the three as they are B150 boards.

I suggest you go with what you can afford, check reviews and consumer feedbacks about the it.

I suggest checking video and forums reviews as well.

We are having the same plans and it's also my first time.

In my case, Instead of going i3 or i5, I will go with the i7-6700 (non-K [not overclockable]) cpu.
Due to the fact that I am going to upgrade later on and I changed my mind in doing it with one time purchase.

My apologies for the long explanation for I am a newbie as well.

NIce GPU by the way. I highly suggest to get a 4GB version when the time comes or if you want.
