    First build - i5 8400 mATX

    The difference in price between the Gigabyte H370M and Z370M is only about $20. Even though I do not plan on overclocking the CPU would there be any advantage to upgrading to the Z370M? Also, do both of these boards support the same RAM speed? I saw somewhere online said that the H370 only...

    Thank you. This option seems better than the one I originally chose as it includes Bluetooth also. Do you think I am making the right decision with the Gigabyte Z370M motherboard? It doesn't have HDMI 2.0 but I can't seem to find any mATX that do

    First build - i5 8400 mATX

    That looks like an interesting build and definitely similar to what I am going for. I was wondering if there were any major differences in our motherboard as his is slightly cheaper.
