I read your previous thread. I hope to see some repetitive questions from you once people start to suggest ;)

I see it's either Haswell i7 or Skylake i5. It will be super tight to fit i7 in this budget, but it will fit or you may extend your budget a little to fit it comfortably. You have lot of time before upgrading, so you can do some research yourself.

I have no idea about gaming keyboard, mouse. And everywhere people go gaga over Samsung 850 evo, and it's not "extravagant".

Yeah, you can sure find ATX m/b in your budget. Obviously ATX costs more than micro ATX and it will hit the roof of your budget.
H170 Pro/B150 Pro gaming/H170 Pro gaming costs 10/11/12k respectively and fits your criteria.

whats the diff btw b150 one and h170 one .... other than the realtek codecc and pci 1x slot in the h170 one ? both dont support oc and support dimm upto 2133 mhz and how much difference does ram speed make in the real world ? and about the cpu found some interesting facts Intel Core i5 6500 vs 640 ... what do you guys say ? looks like the 6400 gets a higher score

Intel Core i5 6500 -15700,
Gigabyte GA-H170-D3H -9500,
Corsair Vengeance 8GB 2133Mhz DDR4 -3500.
TOTAL -28,700.

Corsair Ram has 10 years of warranty & Gigabyte has Dual bios in case if one fails.

I faced similar situation when I bought Asrock Motherboard whose Bios crashed and I could not get it RMA'ed as Digilink guys refused to accept for RMA.
