I'm building 2 computers next week, and somehow I ordered 2 different motherboards. Not sure which mobo I should put with which CPU. The CPUs are i5-6500 and i5-6600k. The mobos are MSI Gaming Z170A GAMING M3 LGA 1151 Intel Z170 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 ATX Intel Motherboard and MSI Gaming Z170A GAMING M5 LGA 1151 Intel Z170 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 ATX Intel Motherboard.
Next question:
2 computers, which one is better suited to being an HTPC that is pretty much only used to play DVDs and MKVs on a 4k TV, and which for gaming. (Games being WoW on low-med, Star Wars MMO on med-high, Minecraft, Garry's Mod, CO:GO, Lego Minifigures Online, BeamNG.drive, Steam games, and also one of my kids wants to start learning to code.)
First computer is an i5-2500k (not OC'd) that will have 16GB RAM. Second computer is i5-6500 with 8GB RAM. Both will have EVGA GeForce GTX 960 02G-P4-2962-KR 2GB SC GAMING GPUs.
Thanks for any input
