Will This Build Be Worth It??? HELP!!!

jejemon1012 · Aug 7, 2016

I'm planning on buying a new computer components to replace my old rig. I'm in a tight budget but I need some peoples opinion to the components that I'm going to buy. The components that I'm going to buy are, a new motherboard, CPU and a ddr4 ram.

Motherboard: ASRock H110M-HDV Micro-ATX
CPU: Intel Pentium G4400 3.30 GHz Skylake
RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 16GB Single DDR4 2400 (BLS16G4D240FSB)

Which will cost me all in all $189.

I don't need a really expensive components, I just want to make my computer a bit faster especially when your're into editing and stuffs. Will there be a big difference when it comes to performance when I bought this components that I'm planning to buy? It's only for temporary and I'll upgrade sooner.

Here are my PC specs right now btw:

Motherboard: Asrock ConRoe 1333-d667
CPU: Inter Core 2 Duo E7300 2.66GHz
RAM: Kingston 4GB DDR2 ram
PSU: Thermaltake 500w
GPU: gtx 960

8 years old rig and still breathing.

This will perform better in most tasks by a decent margin (however it is $10 more) I'm editing it should smash the cpu you picked by probably close to 40%

if the rig is 8 yrs old I would suggest a new PSU, average lifespan for high quality PSU's is 7 years.

The newer Pentium would be an improvement, but I think you would get better results with the i3. Swap the 8 GB kit of RAM for a 16 GB kit later if you need it. If you live near a Microcenter, you can get an i3/H110 bundle for $129.99.

Note that H110M boards only have two RAM slots.
I've put in a single 8GB stick of better quality RAM and essentially the same thing as everyone else, really is the best option available to you.

What's the difference between the: "ASRock H110M-HDV Micro-ATX" and the "Asus H110M-A/M.2 Micro ATX LGA1151". the ASRock is cheaper in my country though. Less $10.

jejemon1012 :

The Asus features an M.2 port for use with high speed SSDs.
Go for the AsRock, unlikely you'll need it.

Thank you for all the responses! Really helped me a lot. Going for i3 then.
