Hello!
I'm currently considering parts for a new build, my current PC while old I installed a fairly good graphics card with a 550w XFX supply as well as multiple HDDs (Too cheap for SSDs :p). I want a new CPU, a new CPU means a new MOBO etc etc etc

I think I might go for an Intel Core i5 6400 and Gigabyte H110M-S2H, I'm a bit unsure on the MOBO as I don't have much experience with them (Never had to buy new one before). If I can I'll buy with RAM as a bundle; does anybody have a specific preference between basic (OEM etc or just simple retail sticks) or more expensive Fury kinds? I don't Have an infinite budget and hope to spend as little as possible.

Going to get a new case but that'll be finding the cheapest thing that supports either mATX or ATX since it's backwards compatible...
If anybody can suggest better parts or just provide general advice that'd be swell!
Thanks,

Like smorizio said, Microcenter is the best place to buy if you live close to one, but the bundle prices are in store only.

Not a whole lot of difference between H110 motherboards, most have similar features. Nearly all the boards are limited to 2133 speed RAM, so using what ever is cheapest is fine. The big thing to watch is the video outputs on the board in case you need to use on board graphics. Where will you be buying your parts from?
 
if you have local micro center look for combo deals. on mb look at the ports on the back of the mb and the audio chipset. some mb use the older realteck chipset. the better vendors use the newer al11xx chipset.
cosiar r line not bad case when there onsale.

Wherever is the cheapest :D, not bought pc-parts from E-bay before but I've seen some reasonable combo deals on there with CPU+MOBO and some with decent RAM (8gbs of DDR4 should be pretty solid for nearly every game).
