Hi All,

I am making my own PC for the first time and am short of a choice of motherboard. I only have these few choices available from my local market, was wondering if anyone could provide me good advice on which one I should choose for my rig? I have more or less purchased the rest of my equipment less the Casing and Motherboard, my rig is
GPU: EVGA 6GB GDDR5 GTX 1060 SC ACX2.0 6.8inch
CPU: Intel i5 6500
RAM: Ballistix Sport LT 8GB DDR4 288-Pin
SSD: Crucial MX300 275GB SATA 2.5Inch
PSU: Seasonic S12ii 520w

Main purpose for gaming, require to hit 144hz on games like CSGO with my monitor. Perhaps down the road in a year i would be using it for my Computer Science degree coding if its still viable or possible.

I need help with choosing these motherboards, wonder if anyone would be patient enough with me to let me know which one is better or which should i choose? Thank you so much! (Quite fixed for these choices)
1)GIGABYTE H110M-DS2 DDR4
2)MSI B150M MORTAR
3)ASROCK H170M PRO4
4)ASUS B150M-C DDR4


I will also be choosing a case after, wonder if they will all fit into these 3 cases, or is there any particular ones that don't fit or I have to choose? (Everything's on a low budget)
Tecware F3
Fractal Design Define S
Nzxt Phantom 240

Also this will be my first time playing with these lego blocks, really appreciate if i can be advised on if there is any size or pin compatibility issues. Thank you!
 
Solution
Boards - between the b150m mortar & asrock h170m pro 4.

Very similar feature set & quality , pick the cheaper one or the one you think looks nicer.

Cases ???

There is surely a massive price difference between those 3mm

The f3 is a rebadged cit case , its barebone quality but will do the job absolutely fine if it's cheap & budget is an issue

Phantom 240 - never used it , personally not my cup of tea looks wise.

Define s is easily the best but I'd imagine the most expensive by along way ??

All 3 have intake & exhaust fans prefitted so kudos for the smart choices there.
