hey guys, my name is gaurav and i am a student from india. and i am building my first PC. so i have done proper research and things but the motherboard is confusing me. because i am unable to afford high end CPU, so i have selected the Pentium g4560. and to pair it with a compatible mobo i have selected the gigabyte gaming b8 mobo. which costs around $140 in india. i am going to upgrade my processor in the future so i need a good mob to work with this is my config:

Pentium g4560
Gigabyte GA-Gaming b8
Corsair VENGEANCE LPX 2400mhz 8GB
Antec VP 500p PSU
corsair spec-01
kingston ssd nowuvee 400
Asus GTX 1060 6GB OC

so the question is that is this combo good enough for low-mid range gaming? i will upgrade to core i5 7500 after a few months, so will it be good? thanks for reading my thread. and please sorry for my bad english

Yes it's a nice motherboard. I mean you'll be able to upgrade to any locked i3/i5/i7 processors without a problem. :)

i am well aware about the psu and graphics card but this is the Best PSU i can get in india in this price range, you can check it yourself. i have discussed about this PSU with some of the top experts on tom's hardware as Indian pricing and quality. and before upgrading the CPU, i will switch to a High-End PSU.

and i have selected the GTX 1060 because i want the best performance after upgrading the processor, it may bottleneck the pentium g4560, but once paired with a 7'th generation core i5 it will be able to run games on ultra with well over 60 FPS. i will upgrade it in 3-4 months after building the PC.

for the storage i will use the 1 TB hard drive from my old PC
