Plannning to buy an Intel processor and motherboard for casual gaming at medium settings and as regular desktop. Budget 20k

Processor: (Need inbuilt graphics)
Intel i3 10105 3.7 GHz
Motherboard (Need HDMI port):
GIGABYTE H410M H LGA 1200
GIGABYTE B460M GAMING HD LGA 1200

Already having:
HyperX Fury 8gb 2133 MHz
Samsung SSD 750 EVO 250 gb
WD Blue 1 tb
Seasonic S12II 520W
Corsair Carbide Spec3

Whether the setup withstand/bottleneck a future update of GTX 1060 or same range card?
Intel 10100 seems to be priced higher than 10105, why so even though having higher speed?
Is there any considerable difference in 2133 and 2666 speeds of RAM, any need for buying new now?
Is ASUS motherboard better?
Should I wait for 11th generation as I am not in a hurry?
 
I don't think there's i3 11th gen, like i3 11100 to succeed 10100 using 11th gen architecture. So no point in waiting. Intel's 12th gen will be launched towards the end of the year though.

So i3 10100 & 10105 are your options with a B460 mobo preferably. Ask sellers for quote & see for how much you can get them.

The CPU is good enough for GTX 1060 or 1650 Super.

Get whichever is cheaper b/w 10100 & 10105, both are almost identical. 10105F or 10100F lack iGPU.

Yes, 2666MHz RAM will perform a bit faster, fps boost in some games. But prefer running the PC with 2x8GB RAM sticks, even if 2133MHz, to take advantage of dual-channel RAM. 2x8GB 2133 > 1x8GB 2666.

In a way, any mobo will do from big brands like Asus, MSI, AsRock & Gigabyte. Look at features like RAM slots & M.2 slot. Prefer a B460 with 4 RAM slots like Gigabyte B460M DS3H (8.5k maybe) or B560M DS3H for 9.5k.
