is it okay to cheap out on motherboard?

[chickenwings14]

Im in strict budget to build a pc, is it okay to cheap out on motherboard like getting an msi h110m ddr4 and gtx 970 or getting an asus b150 gaming pro and a gtx 960 or r9 380? Maybe in 6 months I'll upgrade my gpu.
my rig would be:
core i3 6100
msi h110m/asus b150 gaming pro
gtx970/gtx960/r9 380
g.skill ripjaws 2400MHz ddr4
seasonic s12ii 520w

atx h100 are not a bad mb. as long as your not going to over clock or sli/crossfire there fine mb. built my data a rig using h170 mb and he loves it over his 10 year old dell.

Get the MSI H110M with the GTX 970. Which GTX 970 are you thinking of?

yeah, I was planning to get the haswell instead, but its aging already! I will just get the cheapest mobo.

its not that old i am building a haswell atm they are filthy cheap & only a few years old skylake aint whathey are cracked up to be

The motherboard and processor in my signature are incredibly good value for money.
The motherboard has enough connections and features for most needs, and the sound quality is good.
How much overclock you get depends on luck, but most people should get at least 4 or 4.1Ghz.

And yes, you CAN overclock on a Gigabyte H81 mobo and a stock cooler, but you have to keep the CPU voltage below 1.1V to avoid overheating the CPU and overstressing the motherboard.

stick with hassy a great set up for a decent rig its why i am going this way to sketchy on skylake & more expensive to build where hassy use ddr3 ram & simular components that will eat a skylake or give it a run

Then get the Palit GTX 970. If you can get an i5, then its worth going haswell, if its still an i3, let it be skylake.

an i5 haswell and an i5 skylake have the same price here maybe there is a bit difference but not a dollar example: php9,480(skylake) php9,470(haswell). thats how they price here. haha. ill go with the skylake and a gtx970. thank you mate!

Then get an i5 skylake with a H110 mobo.

Won't the i3 bottleneck a GTX 970?

nah it wont the haswell i3s go hard u wont on a gtx970 make sure u got plenty of ram a good os like 10 pro opens the hardware up. run 10 with an i3 no issues i done many odd gaming set ups ur drop a few fps but ur running of a gtx card so u wont notice it run msi after burner & tune to suit
