my budget is not much as i will not be doing much on this pc i was thinking about a g4560 pentium processor with 4gb ram in this pc but my main issue is the motherboard i can't find a cheap motherboard with 7th gen support b250m pro vd is available on amazon but its way to costly so can you tell me which processor should i choose and which motherboard because i have a gtx1050 mini which i will be installing in this pc but i'm confused with the processor because a 6th gen i3 is costly than a 7th gen g4560 and the performance is better on the g4560 my budget is around 300$ (INR 20k) i have a graphics card so i think that would decrease the cost to some extent please help me in this and sorry for poor English

The kaby lake cpu will not boot to flash the bios if it is not at least the 1.4 hence needing to match the version. Or taking the board to a shop and have them upgrade the bios with a skylake cpu.

An H110 will use a g4560, BUT you need to make sure it has a kaby lake compatible bios on it before building. Try to find a vendor that has new stock with updated bios. Find the board, look on the support site to see which version supports g4560 cpu. This info should be listed on the serial number sticker outside the box. Otherwise have to find a shop to flash the drive and I don't know what their fee is.

I may have spoke too soon about the bios version label. I just looked at a motherboard box, it did not list the bios version. I know they used to, or had a sticker on the bios chip that showed what version was on it when bought.

i can do that via bios right i can just load new version of bios through flash drive or does it require the pc started up fully with the cpu
