I wanna know if this build is compatible for office tasks at home?

- Crucial MX300 257gb SSD
- Intel Skylake i3-6100 with integrated HD Graphics 530
- Gigabyte GA-H110m-S2H DDR4 mATX mobo
- Seasonic S12II-520 psu
- BitFenix Nova case
- Kingston HyperX Fury Black 2 x 4GB DDR4 2133 mhz CL14

Im i missing something else or is that all good? Oh Ill be getting Win 10 product key and Im installing windows 10 via USB. Thanks.

G4600 is an excellent pick.
It includes HD610 graphics which is a bit stronger.
Most any B250 motherboard that fits your case will do.
On ram, all ddr4 ram will run at default 2133 speed. Faster does little good.
Buy the cheapest 2 x 4gb kit you can find, no need to spend more on faster ram.

Seasonic is a good reliable brand, even lower power like 300w is plenty.
Do not worry about haswell sleep states support. You should be able to turn off the lowest power problematic states in the bios.

240gb ssd is excellent. It is THE key to desktop performance.
I would pick Samsung 850 evo instead for performance and reliability. The 5 year warranty is telling.

why?

- silent case. wouldn't want anything else for an office build anymore.
- Pentium is at the same level as the i3 in terms of CPU performance
- Gold efficient PSU that is compatible with deep sleep states of your computer

the only thing I'm not sure about is the Pentium 4560s iGPU. the 530 is somewhat better than the 610.
so if you can spend 25$ more it might be worth going for the Pentium 4600 which comes with the better Graphics unit.
but this depends on your needs and how much graphically more intense tasks your home office includes

Yes it is all compatible and will make for a fine Office PC but i would recommend changing the CPU to a Pentium G4560 as it is cheaper than the i3-6100 and offers almost identical performance. A B250M Motherboard would also be a good idea to open up some more upgrade paths for RAM and Storage if you ever need, this is close to as cheap as a H110 board and you'd make up for the price of the higher board by getting the Pentium G4560. Hope this helps :)

Looks fine. I would consider the Seasonic G-series 450w PSu instead of the S12II only because the S12 is an older design that doesn't support Haswell sleep states. Being its an office PC you'd likely want it to be able to go to low power and sleep modes and be very efficient sitting all day. The G-series is gold rated for efficiency as well as not having the sleep issue.

Thanks. I can buy like about 500-550$ worth parts so ill take G4600. Specific motherboard and RAM 2400 mhz you suggested isn't available where I live, something else then? Ripjaws V 8gb ddr4 series only 3000/3200/3466/3600 mhz available. Maybe this MSI B250M PRO-VH, mATX and my suggested ram?
