Thanks for the build blackbird, is that i3 a newer generation than the i5 I had, and is there any specific reason for the different motherboard?

 

[King_V]

The i3 he recommended is Coffee Lake, newer generation than the i5 Kaby Lake. The previous i3 processors were 2 core, 4 thread, the new i3 is a 4-core, 4-thread. Given some minor tweaks, and the slightly larger cache memory, it should perform on par or maybe slightly better than the older i5.

The different motherboard is to support the Coffee Lake generation of processor.

Ok, thanks King_V. I'm pretty new to the world of PC hardware and this will be my first build. A 4 core i3 sounds perfect.

Any other advice from anyone is welcome.
