    Budget Mobo for i3 Skylake

    Replacing my aging but still reliable i3-6100 3.70GHz (Skylake) with an i7-6700K, I would like to throw the i3 into another PC and are looking for a budget mobo to accommodate? I also replaced my Radeon R7 370 with an RX 580, so this motherboard would need to accommodate the R7 as well, I would like to find something under $60.00 if possible, I am not sure if I will be gaming on this PC, but let's just say I will for the sake of argument, it doesn't have to look pretty. As always, thanks.

    ***UPDATE***

    If you happen to have any suggestions on a budget case as well, that would be much appreciated.

    Not entirely below the 60$ mark but quite close for the mobo.
    Decided upon fractal design for the case, they are usually quality components but can also be found cheap. While there are cheaper options this one has inbuild 2.5 bay if you ever decide to put a low-cost SSD into it.

    Just pick whatever you want from that list, they should all be compatible with a 6100. I've heard bad things about Biostar, but haven't used their products, so can't really comment.

    And when you say budget case, how budget we talking? If we're talking like, super cheap, there's the https://pcpartpicker.com/product/6Rr...er-case-fbm-x1 for 20 bucks. If you want something more normal-sized, there's https://pcpartpicker.com/product/kV7CmG/diypc-case-p48w for 32. Something that looks nice (subjectively) https://pcpartpicker.com/product/2tT...-cc-9011107-ww for 36 (With the rebate currently, 50-ish otherwise).
