Please recommend me a mobo and casing

[freezer90]

Just purchased a zotac GTX 1070 mini recently. I looking to build a new machine.

I am currently looking at i5-6500 and not planning to do any overclocking. I am also not sure whether to buy a mobo to future proof my rig in case i want to use SLI next time.

Please commend me a casing, mobo and ram for my situation please =(.

Thanks alot!

maybe u can state your budget w/o gpu and also whatys your usage? need a lot of ram as well?

for casing what type of casing are u looking for? simple and cheap, nice looking and expesnive? colors striking? etc?

probably around 700-800ish with harddisk, power supply all these?
Usage will be gaming (Dota2, overwatch, all these). Do you recommend getting a z170 board?
Thanks for helping! =D

No, we do not recommend a z board. U don't even intend to overclock why get it?

A b150 or h170 will suffice. In terms of maximizing your dollar, sli ain't worth it. Changing your gpu at that point is better. On a general basis, getting 16gb of ram should be enough. 8 is good for casual usage and gaming but I can envision it to be insufficient in 2 years time.

I am partial to Asus mobo, pick one that has the features you want and build around it. RAM and casing matters little IMO, the cheapest ones from quality brand would most often do.
