Hi guys. I'm an artist buying a new system after both my pc and tablet went kaput. This is what i have selected so far and I need help with the MoBo:
CPU: i5 6400
GPU: R7 370
RAM: G.Skill Sniper
HDD: Hitachi 1TB
Casing/PSU: Any
I will be using this PC for illustration work, likely the most graphics/processing intensive programme I will use is Photoshop CC. Maybe somr Blender or ZBrush work for fun. For this reason I wanted to choose a good Skylake CPU. So for aa 1151 socket compatible MoBo, I am looking at Z170 MoBos. I originally picked an Asus Z170-K, but it only supports DDR4 RAMs. I don't want to spend more on RAM as I am already stretching my buget. There is also the Asus Z170-P and M but their model seems questionable. AsRock also has some 1151/DDR3 compatible Z170 MoBo but people don't seem to trust AsRock. Any thoughts on what MoBo I should biy, or on my build so far?
I also live in Malaysia so some parts may be unavailable to me.
