    Hope you don't mind me chirping in on your thread Spud.

    How did you get on with the Gigabyte board? Thinking of going down the same route shortly.

    Cheers.

    Only just seen this. :)

    It's been fine, I went for the H170 over the B150 for the better connectivity with respect to pci slots and more usb headers.
    Quality seems good, but I'm no expert.:D
    Z170 allows overclocking and the ability to use even faster RAM, but is more ££ again.
    I used Flubit and managed to get decent deals on motherboard and processor.

    Thanks to Cisco001for his/her input. :beer:
    I spent a week or so messing around with software and exploring settings while on Windows 7, now up and running with clean install of Win 10.

    N.B.
    Win 10 found the drivers for ancient Canon i560 and HP Laserjet 1320 printers.
    It also installed an Epson 2480 scanner.
    Move along, nothing to see.
