Hi... im planning to build a super budget 7th gen pc. I already decided that the processor be G4560. Now im looking at cheap motherboards. B250M is kinda expensive as of the moment. Then asus recently released a revamp H110 motherboard that will support kaby lake processor out of the box without the need for bios update. Also, since G4560 loves DDR4 2400 RAM to be at least on par with a core i3 (as reviewed by eurogamer link below) I would like to ask if anyone can confirm that these new motherboard could actually run DDR4 2400 without downgrading the RAM to 2133. If so, then these new mobo would be the cheapest 7th gen available. Hopefully someone can confirm. I have posted the spec sheet from asus website for everyones review regarding my concern. But actual experience is better.
