Hello, i have decided to build a budget gaming rig myself, please check whether the components support each other, or if any parts are missing. This is my first time building a computer. My main question is, is the motherboard and power supply compatible with the other components?

Since Tom's just did a review of a couple of 1030 cards, read the review to see if that is sufficient graphics power for your desired gaming level.

I'd recommend a G4560 CPU with a B250 motherboard and 2400 MHz ddr4 if they are cheaper in your area then use the savings to get into a 1050GTX over that 1030GT

G4560 is essentially a I3 6100, missing the AVX extensions and 200MHz less. No loss for a gaming rig.

The H110 does have a bios update that can run a G4560, but it has to be updated before it will work. I don't know if the H110 is shipping with the latest BIOS or need to have it updated before assembly.

Thanks for the reply. Can you suggest a motherboard that supports the components of my choice?

At the price I'd grab the asus, 4 ram slots, 2 m.2, USB3.1 and USB-C connector. Extra features the gigabyte h110 didn't offer.

Again If the G4560, a sure supporting motherboard like the B250, and 2400 MHz DDR4 is cheaper than the I3-6100, H110, and 2133 DDR4, The savings might get you an upgrade from the 1030GT to a 1050GTX is the goal. 1030GT is slightly slower than a 750TI.

By asus, do you mean the ASUS PRIME B250M-A LGA 1151 Intel B250 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard? If yes, in india, its 17k, way too overpriced for my budget

Yes it is. It is not a high quality one but it is fine for low end setup.
