I know LGA1150 is a bit "old" but im just going to have to roll with it now. And I also am aware that the GPU is overkill but just tell me if its going to work.

cpu: i5-4460 quad core @3.2
mobo: ASUS H81M-PLUS motherboard micro-atx
gpu: ASUS GTX 1060 6gb
ram: some random DDR3 1600MHz 2x4gb
ssd: kingston fury 240gb
case: corsair 100r silent edition

EDIT: forgot to mention that im planning on installing windows 10 on this

Its a decent combo and yes it will work fine, but you will be better off with more current gen. tech. The GPU should work fine except for games with heavy cpu binding... https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Q7lIYRK5T0ABLvAkgbM_2jJGvbhlep27mR-eRcCy4FA/edit#gid=0

Yeah thank you hellfire it's just that i already have the cpu and my because of my budget i cant get a better one so i will just have to update gpu and get another motherboard. Just wanted to know if the mobo fits everything here.

Hellfire13 · Oct 12, 2017

You might need a BIOS update for the board. Other than that its pretty compatible.

vapour · Oct 12, 2017

I don't believe you have an extra 3rd gen Intel CPU to do BIOS update on that mb, the mb itself may not have latest BIOS to support I5-4460.

Get this instead:

These are later batches of boards from that generation and usually comes with all the latest BIOS. But to be sure, I would suggest that you have a chat with their customer support.

saku.sylvester · Oct 13, 2017

Can I go with this one instead?: ASUS B85M-E
Does it have a BIOS that supports i5-4460 without updating?

vapour · Oct 13, 2017

Nope, same potential issue

saku.sylvester · Oct 13, 2017

Alright are there any mobos aroun 60-90 euros that has the bios update already

vapour · Oct 13, 2017

where do you live?

saku.sylvester · Oct 13, 2017

In Finland. I was planning of ordering these parts from jimm's or systemastore. They're finnish companies.

Closest I can find...

saku.sylvester · Oct 13, 2017

Okay thanks ill look into it

saku.sylvester · Oct 13, 2017

Is updating motherboard's bios with a usb flashdrive possible tho?

vapour · Oct 13, 2017

saku.sylvester :

Nope, you can not get into bios without a supported CPU.

Hellfire13 · Oct 13, 2017

saku.sylvester :

If you want out of the box compatibility, look for any h97 or z97 board.

saku.sylvester · Oct 13, 2017

Oh alright thanks

saku.sylvester · Oct 13, 2017

Alright, this systemastore place provides a thing where they update your mobo's bios to it's newest version or to a version that you want for 15€ so it's not that bad if it doesnt work with me, because I can go there and they update it. Imma go with the h91m-plus. Thanks for the answers guys.

I want to know if this build will work out.
