Hello guys my best friend wants to build his 1st gaming pc. The budget is around 800e, he wants to play most of the titles at 1080p60+
P.S: He already has an SSD from his previous laptop, so he doesnt want to get storage right away. Also he has a monitor and the rest of the peripherals, oh and a case.
I was considering a build with i5 6500 and a gtx 1060 6G. But i dont know what to pick for motherboard. He is not interested in oveclocking, SLI/Crossfire, or extra PCIe cards (sound, wifi, etc), its nice to have an M.2 slot though. So after some research in the web these are the chipset we need H110, B150 and H170. So what chipset is the best for us (and for the future)

You can also suggest a build from this site:

Should be ok. If you have the money, try to get a Gold if you can. It's a bit more, but wroth considering if the PSU goes out, then everything else could go out
Well, as far as motherboard goes, you probably just want to go with the H110. If he is only gaming, then he probably only needs about 16GB of RAM. Since he is not doing SLI or adding anything it should be perfect. If M.2 slots are important, then bumping up to a B150 is your best bet. Also, make sure to pick up a decent power supply. Something with at leat 80+ Certs. Don't skimp on that.
