Hello guys. I've been building me a PC but I don't know what motherboard I should use.
Here's the build:
CPU : i5 6500
RAM : G.Skill Ripjaws V 16GB DDR4 2400 / HyperX Fury 16GB DDR4 2133 (depending on chipset)
GPU : Sapphire Nitro+ RX480 4GB
SSD : Samsung EVO750 250GB
PSU : EVGA Supernova G2 550W
I already have a case, Cooler Master CM690.
Now, this rig will be used for gaming and gaming only. So that means I should go for H170/Z170 chipset? The initial budget for MoBo is around 100-130€ ($110-145).
Note that I will not be doing any OC nor crossfire, so that means I should go for H170 chipset instead of Z170? Altho Z170 chipset seem to me to be a bit more futureproof since it has faster memory and maybe once day I do go with overclocking, but most likely not.
In this price range I've found few MoBos like Gigabyte Z170X Gaming M3 and Asus Z170-A, they have positive reviews but also quite some complains so I really have no clue how will I find a good and reliable motherboard and I need your help.
Is it worth going for those cheap motherboard like MSI B150 Mortar/Bazooka or MSI H110-Pro VD? But I'd rather not cheap out on motherboard.
