Do not buy this combination. The H110 Motherboard will not work with the i3-7100 processor without a BIOS update which you cannot do without a Skylake processor (example i3-6100). The easiest way is to instead get a B250 motherboard such as

This is the bare minimum I would use with an RX 480, its overpowered for it but if thats your budget level then thats it.
