Glossy screen may create reflection when you are viewing under bright light source (i.e under light bulb).

BenQ EW2440ZH - semi-glossy VA

i7 6700K - good choice but if your task isn't that CPU demanding, you won't feel any difference at all.

X99 - enthusiast level, expensive and not worth if you aren't going for 28/40 PCIe lanes environment (more than 2 way SLI/CF etc) or heavy workloads which require or benefit from multicore architecture.

But of course you can still do the upgrade if you have lots of money to spend, I am just speaking for money wise (price/performance ratio).

Hello.

Looking at this build you suggested, if I am getting the ASRock H110M-ITX D3 instead of the D4 version, my RAM has to be downgraded to DDR3/DDR3L right? Also, due to the space constrain, do the RAMs need to be low profile, or the normal ones also can?

No reason to go or invest in DDR3 anymore when the price of DDR4 RAM is the same as DDR3 now, some of them are even cheaper than DDR3.

Value RAM = low profile RAM unless you are going to install special CPU cooler which may take up certain slot or space of RAM slot.

OMG! Didn't know that. I am currently comparing the ASRock H110M-ITX/D4 with the Asus H110I-PLUS DDR4.

Which one do you think is better?

Both having similar features, but Asus one comes with a better board design (at least 2 SATA ports at side vs all 4 at center) and color scheme in my opinion.

Cool cool. Besides Kingston, any other (cheaper) DDR4 RAMs you recommend? I am not a brand-conscious fella, as long as the items are reliable, then I am fine.

-edit-

DDR4 low-profile RAMs.

Corsair, Adata, Apacer etc.

Value RAM will do (the one with green PCB exposed).

ASRock one (H110M-ITX) also doesn't have, unless you get the AC model but it is not available in Malaysia.

You can always use USB WiFi dongle to connect to WiFi.
