Hi,
I just started ordering all of my parts for my build, when I noticed that two of the parts were sold out on all online retailers. The two parts are my motherboard and PSU. I would appreciate if you could suggest some non discontinued parts. The conditions for the mobo is that it is around the same price, primarily for gaming, compatible with my build, and non-overclocking. The conditions for the PSU is that it is about the same price, compatible, and the right voltage.

To keep things in color this one,

makes it abit more expensive than the first build you provided.Seems like they want to switch to socket 1151 entirely.
Ram sticks out like a sore thumb with this one so the G.Skill would,imo,be a better choice.

Something newer,but even more expensive,
