Yes, you can do so

if you plan to upgrade i assume you mean the CPU later on.
then haswell chip may not be suitable as its an end of line mobo. in 2-3 years time it may be hard to find a new haswell chip, but 2nd hand will be cheap 2-3 year old i5 are going around RM400 these days.

if you stay with skylake mobo, it will last to at least cannon lake 2017, but by then you still probably need to spend RM800 for an new i5.

for casual user an pentium chip is fast enough, i3 would be sufficient too. no need i5.
office/internet stuff better use pentium chip save money and buy a SSD. better performance then i3/i5 with normal HDD.

i suggest your friend to upgrade to ssd in future instead of upgrading the processor to i3/i5.
she will feel a world of difference.
just turn on task manager and monitor your usage, you will find your cpu is seldom on 100% all the time.

I dont get it bro, the rig that has been suggested by terrence is using i7, why would someone change to i5/i3 from i7 ? are you sure you're replying to the correct post ?

oh i got confused for some reason i though you were the same as the other guy hackwire (budget PC)

lol i was saying stuff like downgrade pentium haswell instead and upgrade to 8gb ram in my previous 2 post lol

in that case if you can afford an i5/i7 then definitely get that BenQ 22" monitor

I got an BenQ 24" EW2440 from lazada sale 5 months ago for RM525 good buy.

since you are using a gtx 960 its not going to make much difference with i3/i5
in come cases, i3 is faster then i5

Wow! That's quite the information!
Thank you so much! But with i5, it is better for upgrade later on right?

I5 6500
Asus B150 pro gaming aura

Does it work well together ?

Intel Core i7 6700 RM1258
MSI B150M Bazooka D4 RM409
ZOTAC GEFORCE GTX 960 2GB GDDR5 128BIT (ZT-90302-10M) RM869

BenQ GW2270 21.5" RM429
Logitech MK200 Wired Keyboard&Mouse Combo RM63
Total:RM3903
Prices are from ETech.

Can use the extra budget on another stick of RAM for RM148 if you wish to, or get a better monitor/keyboard&mouse.

The motherboard is of the LGA1151 socket, of course it can work since it's for Skylake. Though you can get a motherboard with similar USB ports/PCI slots etc for less.
Gigabyte H170-HD3 RM469

If i go Xeon. Can i get a better GPU or any type of upgrade ?

Xeon + C232 Chipset motherboard will cost more than I7 + B150 Mobo
