I am brand new to PC building, and am working on my first build on a budget. I have a Gigabyte H110-Micro Atx motherboard and am debating on processors. I was going to go with a Pentium G4500, which matches my LGA 1155 chipset. But Intel just recently released a Pentium G4560, with Intel HD Graphics 610. But it is an 1151 chip set. The 4500 has HD 530 graphics, and I can't buy a graphics card for a while until I have more money. But my question is, can I use the Pentium 4560 with my motherboard?

Your H110 is not an 1155, it an 1151.

Your motherboards BIOS can be updated to support kabylake chips (assuming Gigabyte has an update for it at this time), but to do so requires you boot with a already supported CPU. This means you need a skylake cpu to boot with, update the BIOS, and then you can run your kabylake CPU.

The better option would be to get an i3 6100 which should be only $20-25 more then a 4560.

FYI there is a large difference between a 4500 and 4560 due to the hyperthreading.
