Hello...
I was thinking of rebuilding my 15yrs old PC which was lying in my attic since I left my place to work outside. I don't even remember the specs of it, it was may be xp model.
So I want to rebuild it myself with the same case (a budget cheap build) so my cousin can use for some basic needs & decent gaming (not very high end games).
I was thinking to go with Intel Pentium G4400 or G5400 as processor.
So I would like to know what other component options to choose for this like motherboards, RAM etc...
I prefer to use G5400 as it is the latest one..
Also does ASUS H110-R/C/SI support pentium G5400????

It would be nice if I can get few budget component options to use.

Do not go with a G4400 it is pointless because it lacks hyper-threading.

G4560 and up have hyper-threading.

G4xxx series is for 200 series Intel motherboards (and 100 series if a bios update is installed) and G5xxx series is for 300 series Intel motherboards. So no, G5400 is not compatible with H110 motherboards. You will want an H310 motherboard for the G5400.
