I'm waiting for your recommendations. Thanks.
 
That motherboard needs to have the Kaby Lake (latest) BIOS on it otherwise it will not work with that CPU. You need to get an H2xx series board for drop in compatibility.

The 470 is a pretty weak gaming card... I would also go 2x4GB of ram instead of 1x8GB as it is a dual channel platform. You aren't leaving much performance on the table by going one stick, but still.

What is your budget and use for this PC? I assume you are not overclocking it getting a locked processor and H series board???

I almost agree but saying that 470 is a weak gaming card that is a false statement.

I like my eye candy. 4xAA+ at 1080p to get rid of the jaggies. I play on high/ultra or bust. 4gb of vram is getting long in the tooth on a few titles with that type of setting.

Perhaps weak is too harsh, it will do fine, but in many titles it can struggle a bit with ultra/high settings including some AA. As time goes on it gets worse. I wouldn't start on this level card for a gaming system if I could help it. There are plenty worse choices though, lol!

Edit: and he is playing cs:go on low... lol. That wasn't mentioned until after my post. :)
