[SOLVED] Is this motherboard worth for my specs?

[flash444]

Im thinking to build a new gaming PC and was compairing components from my friends pc's. (Note, this is a budget PC build for 1080p gaming).

I was thinking of building a Intelcore i3 8100, an MSI RX 580 with a Z370-A PRO motherboard with a 450W PSU , 500GB SSD and 8 GB ram.

Friends PC has a Intel core i5 8400,a GTX 1060 3 GB with a MSI H310M PRO-VD m-ATX Intel Coffee Lake LGA 1151 Motherboard with 600W PSU ,1TB HDD and 8GB ram.

Currently on amazon, all his components are more expensive than those I planned to buy, except his mother board, wich is like half the price of mine.

Is it worth getting the Coffee Lake instead of the Z370 A Pro for the build I want? If not ,Im open to suggestion. TIA

Get a B360 , no need for an i3 8100 on a Z board.

unless you plan on upgrading to an i7 or i7 CPU in the future a Z board is a waste of money for you

Tyvm guys. Why is my friends motherboard much cheaper and still use better proccessor than my expected one? He built it pre made, maybe it was the PC store owner tweak for making his pre made pc more profitable. What do you think guys?

Edit: Is this B360 good and apropriate? https://www.amazon.ca/B360M-PRO-VDH-Intel-Coffee-Motherboard/dp/B07BYM4KF3/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1546991481&sr=8-3&keywords=b360&th=1

odds are wherever you friend bought his PC they used lower quality parts to keep the price down. they may even used some refurbished parts too

Go the AMD route, better and cheaper for the price equivalent.
Your PSU is also weak. 450 isn't enough, you will regret it.

How much power would you recommend?

I have another question concerning the Rx 580. Does the style matter? Cause on amazon, there is a few "style" from wich I can choose to order and they differ from under 300$ to over 400$. https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B06XZZ93FQ/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&th=1

600W is enough to see you for a long time, I think its more the sweet spot nowadays for most systems.
Remember, things don't like to run 100% ,so 70% of max rating is ideal.
