MSI H110M PRO-VH(Questions)

[Zephyrion]

Hello there I'm planning on upgrading my first build
MSI H110M PRO-VH
Intel G4400
Kingston Hyper X 8gb

I just want to ask a few questions:
Will the MSI H110M PRO-VH fit into a Corsair Carbide 100r?
I'm planning to change my processor to an Intel Pentium G4560 since they say its like the i3 6100.
I'm also getting a graphics card, but I don't know what to choose from GTX 1060 3g/6g or Rx 470 4g?
What PSU should I use Corsair vs550w or Seasonic s12ii 520w + 80 bronze?

If there is anything you guys can recommend please do, I'm new to PC Gaming.
Thanks in Advance

MSI H110M PRO-VH might not have a compatible BIOS for the G4560 , most H110 boards don't. Get the SEASONIC. 1060 6GB is the best of the 3.

Everything will fit in the 100R.

Get a B250 board to avoid the BIOS issue for the G4560.

Will the MSI H110M PRO-VH fit into a Corsair Carbide 100r?
Yes. The Corsair Carbide 100R is a mid-tower case capable of fitting ATX, micro-ATX, or mini-ITX format motherboards. Your MSI H110M PRO-VH is a micro-ATX motherboard.

I'm planning to change my processor to an Intel Pentium G4560 since they say its like the i3 6100.
Although you can fit an Intel Pentium G4560 (7th-gen Kaby Lake CPU) on the H110M PRO-VH (released during the 6th-gen Skylake CPU), you *may* be required to update its BIOS in order to support 7th-gen CPUs. The H110 motherboards would definitely support 6th-gen CPUs out-of-the-box, but, for newer-gen CPUs, it depends. If the actual H100M PRO-VH motherboard you will purchase with a seller was manufactured PRIOR to the release of the Kaby Lake CPUs, then, you cannot boot it with that G4560. If, however, the actual motherboard you will buy was manufactured AFTER the release of the 7th-gen CPUs, then, there is a *chance* it will support the G4560 out-of-the-box.

It is highly recommended that you pair a 7th-gen CPU with a 7th-gen motherboard (such as the B250/B250M) to eliminate any issues on incompatibility/BIOS updates.

I'm also getting a graphics card, but I don't know what to choose from GTX 1060 3g/6g or Rx 470 4g?
The GTX 1060 is one of the top GPU's intended for 1080p/60Hz ultra settings gaming. The RX 470 is a bit lower in terms of performance but still capable of delivering the graphics power for 1080p-resolution gaming but might have to tune down some in-game eye-candy settings to get acceptable framerate, depending on the game.

Since the GTX 1060s (as well as th RX 480s) are the top-of-the-line GPUs for 1080p/60Hz, you *might* experience bottlenecking using a weaker CPUs such as the Pentiums or i3's. The CPU *might* (depending on the game, and your settings) hinder the maximum possible performance those GPUs could have provide.

The RX 470, being a slightly "weaker" card than the GTX 1060 / RX 480, would have "lesser chances" of bottlenecking by those mentioned CPUs.

What PSU should I use Corsair vs550w or Seasonic s12ii 520w + 80 bronze?
The Corsair VS series are one to the poorly-rated and unrealiable PSUs out there. The Seasonic, in contrast, is one of the best. Between those two choices, clearly, you should get the Seasonic S12II 520W. If you want modular cabling, you can also get the Seasonic M12II-520 EVO. If you have the budget, you can also opt for the more efficient Seasonic G-550 (550W), semi-modular.

Hope these answers help.

Thank you for your reply sir, I'm going to order the PSU and Case tomorrow.
my friend is telling me to get Deepcool Dukase v2 or the fractal design core 1100 since its cheaper.
What brand of 1060 should I get the ones I see available in the local stores are Palit,Zotac,Gigabyte.

I read a forum saying the mobo works https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=280615.0

The 7th-gen CPU will work on a 6th-gen MB, IF, you update its BIOS. Quoting the forum you linked:
I just checked the support page for your motherboard and it is indeed compatible once you update the bios.

There are MB's that are still on the shelves of retailers that were manufactured prior to the release of the Kaby Lake CPU's. Make sure (and hope) you don't get that item. If you do, you won't be able to boot up.

Highly suggested GTX 1060 would be the MSI Gaming X. If you don't have that, Gigabyte G1 Gaming or Zotac AMP! Ed. are alternatives. Get the 6GB versions (not the 3GB) for better price/performance.

Apparently, I bought it from the local store before kabylake was released, but I'll try to ask them if they can update the BIOS cause' buying a new MB is kinda out of budget right now.
About the case Corsair 100r is kinda overpriced here in my country so I was thinking maybe go for the DeepCool Dukasev2 or fractal design core 1000/1100
The one I'd probably get is the Zotac AMP! Ed6g or the Gigabyte Windforce 6g

Get the SEASONIC M12II because the Seasonic s12ii 520w , lacks compatibilty for CPU sleep states.

I like the Zotac

Note that the Deepcool Dukase v2 is an ATX case. Your motherboard (MSI H110M), being an mATX format, will fit but there would be "blank"/void spaces below the motherboard (just a matter of aesthetic preference to consider).

Both Fractal Design Core 1000 and 1100 are mATX cases. Your mATX would nicely fit inside these. Just take note of the actual lengths of the GPU and the number of HDD's you will fit in there:

For Fractal Design Core 1000:
Supports graphic card up to 350mm in length with one HDD mounted
Supports graphic card up to 210mm in length with two/three HDD mounted

For Fractal Design Core 1100:
Supports Graphics cards up to 350mm in length may be installed.
One or more 3.5" hard drives may interfere with side-mounted power connectors on graphics cards longer than 170 mm.

Note that the Zotac GTX 1060 AMP! 6GB is 210mm in length, while the Gigabyte GTX 1060 Windforce OC 6GB is 223mm in length.

Thanks for the help sir I bought the Corsair Spec-01 instead of the 100r since the store had no stocks and also the M12II 520w.
If the G4560 won't work I'd probably just go with the RX470.
