Hi
Am planning to get an i3 7100 processor only, with 8gb ddr4 2400mhz or 2133mhz ram module. The thing is i cant afford to shell out on graphics card, not into gaming as such, but a movie buff, watching downloaded 4k hdr movies or via bluray writer. please suggest me a motherboard with 4 ddr4 2400mhz or 2133 mhz slots and 1gb of integrated HD630 graphics and Hd audio as i still hv my faithful creative gigaworks 7.1 speakers.

You could save some cash and buy the pentium g4560 instead of the 7100. It has almost the same performance at half the cost, you could use the cash saved to drop in an rx 550 or the new gtx 1030 to make the 4k movies look even better.
