Hi. I wanna ask this cpu is still good for starter build? Or should I wait new cpus? If it still good recommend me cheap mobo, don't care about look, more features, conections, and quality - better. Also I wanna ask what ram I should choose 2133 vs 2400 and what cl?

The stock cooler that comes with it is plenty good enough for the Pentium.

If you can find the G4560 for a cheaper price then go for it, but it's currently sold out or going for more. This is about the best I can find as far as the cheapest combo goes. Cheapest 2400MHz RAM will do. Dual-channel is better performance, but will limit your upgrade ability if you want more RAM in the future; you'll have to get rid of your 2x4GB to get 2x8GB, or else get a more expensive motherboard with 4 RAM slots.

It could be early next year before we see Coffee Lake Pentiums and H/B300 series motherboards, and when we do they won't be as cheap as the B 250 boards are now (they recently went down in price.) So it depends on when you need the system.

Will you be gaming on the system? Do you have a budget?
