I'm looking to build a new PC. My needs aren't that high. I'm not gaming, nor am I doing extensive video editing or something. My old PC lasted me eight years, and it was still fine. I just want to be a bit more up to date (USB3 for example), and it should not be too loud or expensive. Here is what I have in mind so far:
CPU: i5 6400 or 6500; will the difference be noticeable?
RAM: Kingston HyperX 16GB DDR4-2133 CL14; I basically just picked a 16GB DDR4 set at random. Feel free to suggest something different.
Cooler: Artic Alpine 11 Plus; no great stresses on the CPU, no need to spend big monies on cooling, right?
SSD: Samsung 850 Evo; this is actually non-negotiable, I've got it already; got a great deal on it
HHD: WD Blue 2TB
ext. HDD: WD Elements 2TB
Case: Cooler Master Silencio; I just wanted something smallish, silent, cheap and without LEDs and shit
PSU: Corsair CX430; should be enough, right?
Mainboard: This is where I'm most uncertain. On my own I'd just pick some H110 board, say ASRock H110M-DGS or MSI H110M Pro-VD. Is the H110 good enough, or should I go H170 or B150? Any manufacturers to avoid?
Anything I have forgotten?
Oh, and I'm planning to order from http://www.alternate.de. If the component suggested is available there, that would be a plus.
