CPU/Mobo Advise on Motherboard

[ashu]

Hi Guys, I am having old Intel e7200 and intel g4560 processor. I am looking to start my computer so looking to buy motherboard.
Below is the cost of motherboard:
1. Intel E7200 : G41 ddr3 Rs.2800
2. Intel G4560: H110 LGA 1151 Rs. 5000
Which of the motherboard buying makes more sense? Considering i am planning to keep for 3 years. The use will be basic browsing and office docs. I have all other components.
Thanks for your feedback.

H110 is the better option. g4560 has excellent igpu compared to E7200. g4560 processor is much faster and efficient. H110 has USB 3.0 support, HDMI out(depending on mobo), Fast SATA 3.0 ports which sata SSDs make use of to full potential. Can be easily converted in to a budget gaming rig with 16GB ram and a gpu like gtx 1650 if necessary. If you get good quality mobo from manufacturers like Asus or GB or MSI or Asrock then additional 2.2k Rs over G41 mobo is well worth every rupee.

Moreover, G4560 has hyperthreading i.e. 2 cores and 4 threads vs E7200 which only has 2 cores. If you use a recent version of windows and browser like chrome, 4 threads will feel much faster and smoother. Go for the G4560 with H110.

Hi Guys, I got the new H110 motherboard but unfortunately now I found the CPU is faulty. I am getting second hand I3 7350K for Rs. 4000 in offline market.. is it good deal?

i3 7th gen is 2C/4T. 4K Rs is little high for that IMO. It is better to get i5 6th/7th if you have 4-5k budget.

I don’t know either of them, but I personally use the Gigabyte Z690 Aorus Pro for my PC. It has 13 USB ports, 90A VRMs, Four M.2 sockets and you can buy it at a reasonable price.

Can't you return the motherboard and buy a used combo from here on forum?
You're spending around 10k on 6th gen i3 and board. Makes no sense.

I also think returning that motherboard (if possible) and buying a combo here would be a much better option.
