Thanks for the reply. Can this system last me for 5 6 years, in term of performance ? I forget to mention that I do some lightroom, photoshop and video editing occasionally(once a month), personal use only. Would this i3 be sufficient for my usage? What is the minimum budget i have to top up if I want a i5 system(the type of best for bang) ? I need to see if I can fork out extra $$ and doesnt overkill for my usage.

thanks again

Intel Core i3 6100 --> i5 6500
Gigabyte H110M-DS2/Asus H110M-K
Kingston/Corsair 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM
Kingston SSDNow UV400 120GB SSD

Thanks .
I decided to go with i5 6500. So the mobo no need to change right ? Since I only run one SSD , maybe a couple of HDD, without gaming , no need GPU also. For the mobo, Giga or Asus are the same ? Do they have pro and cons ?

btw, i3 6100 is the best i3 in term of price and performance ? asking on behalf of my friend

Hi Sifu, I have some question.

1. Can GA-H110M-DS2 support Kingston/Corsair 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM ? I notice supported memory speed, DDR3/DDR3L 1600/1333 MHz memory modules , just checked on GA-H110M-DS2


2.

from the picture above, GA-H110M-DS2 does not seem to have DVI port ? I need either dvi or hdmi . Any idea which mobo fit my requirement ?

Thanks for your help

Hi I am looking a chassis.

Requirement :
1. 1 SSD + 3 HDDs (might add one more hdd in the future)
2. Cable management : need space on the side of the panel to stuff in cable for clean looking
3. Air flow design (refer to attached sample pic)
a. At least front Fans intake x1 (can be two), must have front fans to blow toward hdd ( need to keep HDD temperature down for longer lasting, got my working stuff)
b. A least one Fans exhaust on the top
c. A least one Fans exhaust on the top back
4. Convenience of installing hdds (no need to screw)
5. Size of chassis does not mattered, best if can fit ATX and Micro ATX

This basically a working only desktop, no GPU , no water cooling on processor.

I have budget of Rm400 max, however I want to save as much as I can , as long it meets my requirements.


thanks.
