Budget rig recommendation

[DingDang51]

My 5 year old PC just died. 

Looking for a matx build with low power usage and noise. Mainly using for web surfing, some photoshop/video editing, streaming/watching 1080 video and listening to flac/dsd over dac. Is this ok?

Intel i3 7100
Asus H110m-a m.2 ddr4
Kingston ddr4 2133mhz 8G
Fsp hexa+ 450w (my Aerocool PSU still working, is it reco to reuse?)
Silverstone PS08 casing

Recycling other parts. Budget $500

Tks for advice

Anybody can help? I'm unsure if the MB can be used with processor right out of the box. Read reviews that says only higher ver of bios can work with 7th gen processor

Your specs looks fine. Go ahead with it. Yes it can work, but possibly after you flash the motherboard with latest update. Out of good gesture some shop will help you to do it if you ask them. Otherwise head to distro to do so.

Is this sufficient since I'm planning to use only integrated graphics?
If yes, should I use the extra budget to get a better MB?

The only difference between this iteration of I3 and Pentium is that

1. Pentium is slower than I3 by about a few hundreds mhz

2. Pentium lack support for AVX2, which I3 still have. (I dunno about photo editing, but if u do video encoding in x265 format, having access to avx2 does help. Not so much for video encoding in x264 format. )

3. Pentium have a slightly inferior integrated graphic compared to the I3.

Other than that, they are virtually the same thing.

If u don't plan on playing games or do heavy video encoding, it is rather sufficient for your case.
