Tell me your budget and what for will your dad use that PC? Because I guess we can trim the price for you and all of the parts will be picked accordingly.

I think ur case choice is better.

U need a H310 or B360 for i5 8400.

If you need a bigger ssd, that apacer is good.

Thanks for all the answers. We are happy with the budget. I'm just don't know what motherboard would work, could you chose one off this website that would work with most lga 1151 cpus like i7-8700k and i5-8600k.
Thanks for the help

Well if youre overclocking just get a Z370 chipset. If not then you can get other chipsets. If I were you Id choose anything Asus or Asrock

Callan123 · Apr 24, 2018

Thanks

if you want to read up a bit there you go.

you shouldn't really use a K (overclock ) CPU with a mobo that doesn't allow overclocking. Stick with the i5-8400 and that b360 mobo imo.

Evvvvv · Apr 25, 2018

True but K one has a better turbo boost so maybe he wants that. You cannot know what he wants until he says it. I have 8700K that is a terrible overclocker.

Dromoxen · May 2, 2018

He doesn't seem to know the forst thing about PC parts . so the likelihood is that overclocking is far off the menu. Stable running and reliable operation with an i5 8400 and B360 mobo would imo be a better and cheaper choice.

Dromoxen :

I do agree, but its his money, maybe he wants the top notch stuff. Same thing I did as I learned PC's. Not saying that its a smart thing, but well if he wants it he sure should buy it.
