Any motherboard recommendations?

Currently deciding between these 2 at wootware:

MSI B250M PRO-VDH

Gigabyte GA-B250M-D3H


At the moment I think I'll go for the gigabyte motherboard unless there's a better option in the same price bracket. To go with a 6700 and 4x RAM kit.

I'd stick with the Gigabyte as well. Rock solid stability.

Are there any other motherboards that I should have a look at?

Asus above all.

Gigabyte one is fine, doubt there is stock of the cheaper B250s.

Ahem......Asus

Takealot is cheaper with free delivery.

Thank you. Just the power supply and cpu cooler left now.

Takealot has not got much wrt PSUs & Coolers, wootware has a wider selection and they are cheaper than takealot. So you might as well just get everything from them or rebeltech and you'll have better after sales service if something goes wrong. Don't forget the thermal paste.

Tried playing WOW this weekend on a friend's machine. It actually performed like a bomb on max settings. I was surprised because the CPU is not the greatest.

Asus GeForce GTX 950 2GB
Core i3 6100 3.7GHZ
Asus H110M-R
8Gig Corsair Ram

The i3 is no slouch, 2C/4T with high clock, it trades blows with a stock i5-2500k.

Nice! Good for me because he is selling this rig for 2.5k. I'm guessing a deal then?

Will probably do that, thanks again.

What's included?

42inch screen. That's it.

So it's the screen +
Asus GeForce GTX 950 2GB
Core i3 6100 3.7GHZ
Asus H110M-R
8Gig Corsair Ram

No case, psu, hdd etc?

It's the whole rig mate.

R2.5k is a steal then.

If you've got some extra cash buy one of these now as it is very cheap and a good future proof, http://www.mineaway.co.za/index.php?route=product/product&path=94_96_105&product_id=64 and flog the i3
Next upgrade in line would be a RX480/580.
