So I,m going to build a PC. I was wondering whether the Pentium G4560 or the i3 7100 will do good on a H110 mobo. Im going to use a GTX 1050 2GB GPU. I'm considering about the price too. Please help me out.

kavijasuper Normally I'd say the G4560. But the price has crept up ever since it's initial release. Personally, I'd opt for the G4600 over the G4560. It normally cost $1.50 - $2.50 more. For this small price difference the G4600 has HD 630 integrated graphics versus the G4560's HD 610; that represents an 82% increase in the integrated graphics performance. This difference generally means nothing to you, since you'll be using a discreet graphics card. But if that card is ever damaged and you need to send it away for warranty repair, it would be great to have a more powerful integrated graphics to lean on, while you await a replacement...
then 7100 is a bit more performant than the G4560 but usually the 7100 is in the 100$ range where the G4560 is usually cheaper and a better price/power deal

I found new Price compare:
CPU: Intel - Pentium G4560 3.5GHz Dual-Core Processor ($82.88 @ OutletPC)
CPU: Intel - Core i3-7100 3.9GHz Dual-Core Processor ($106.89 @ OutletPC)

either will handle the 1050ti just fine.

FYI: I personally own the G4560, and placed it in a family member's computer that I built at the beginning of 2017. Now I need to build a second computer for another family member, and I'm debating between buying a G4600 / B250 motherboard, or waiting to see if Intel will release the next generation coffee lake Pentiums and accompanying business class motherboards. My wishful thinking has me hoping that they are releasing next month, but I honestly have no Godly idea when they will actually come on the market.
