PC Build Suggestions?

[fatdude223]

Im thinking about building a PC for 250 dollars or less. I have already a GPU for the build ( A GTX 750 Ti). I was thinking about buying parts from Amazon or possibly Newegg. Any suggestions?

Hopefully you still have some HDDs laying around because not much else can be cut:

H110 MBs are not guaranteed to work with Kabylake CPU. The manual of said ASUS H110 board make no mention of the possibility to update its BIOS to one that would support the Kabylake Pentium without a Skylake CPU. You'd end up with a non-bootable system if the H110 board arrive at your door step doesn't have its latest BIOS already installed.

The H110M-E is backwards compatible, they all require a BIOS refresh to work with Kaby Lake which is relatively easy.
Just involves putting it on a USB and booting from that.

 

[FD2Raptor]

The fact is that this low-end H110 board does not support USB BIOS Flashback function that would allow it to update its own BIOS without a working CPU.

A Kabylake CPU in its LGA1151 socket might as well be empty air if it's without BIOS version 3016 that would allow it to see and work with the newer CPU in the first place.

@FD2Raptor, all 100 series boards shipped out after the release of the Kaby Lake BIOS (A few weeks before launch) come factory updated with the new BIOS for out of the box compatibility.
You also want at least 8GB of RAM for workstation use imo, W10 and Chrome eat up RAM like crazy.

Updated and cheaper list, I also forgot a PSU in the last list, so that's edited in.

Thanks for all the help Chugalug_, my last question is just, how will this system handle AAA games or games with high requirements in general?

No worries at all.
You should be able to play most triple A titles at low settings, but your GPU is ultimately what is holding you back in this regard.
Consider an upgrade to something like an RX 480 for about $160 on sale when you can afford it.
