I mean, H110 series were more for Skylake, not Kaby Lake, even so, in the description it says it supports 6th and 7th generation LGA 1151 CPUs, do you recommend it? I'm gonna pair it up with a G4560, 8GB RAM (probably), GTX 1050 and CX 450w.
EDIT: Just looked for it on Gigabyte's official page, look at the "*" in "CPU":

Man, just what does that mean? I don't even know to what else believe...
So, it says it supports 7th generation CPUs, but also say that for 7th generation CPUs you will need to update the BIOS.

You need BIOS version F20. If you have a motherboard with the original F1 Version then you need a 6th Gen Skylake CPU to get the motherboard working. Then you can flash the BIOS to F20. After that 7th Gen G4560 will work.

A 6th Gen Celeron G3900 is about $37.

Most people would skip the H110 Chipset models and use B250 Chipset models that don't need a BIOS update for 7th Gen Kaby Lake CPUs.

The Pentium Gold CPU's replaced the Kaby Pentiums and with the budget boards released it's probably a better option as there clocked a bit higher. You'll want to pair them with a H310/B360 or H370 motherboard.

For the PSU you'll want the (2015) CXM or (2017) CX.

Dude, this is... I don't know, maybe I'll go for a B250M or something like that.
