You make you make a good point however I'm still bit of a novice at all this just bought that and it went off without a hitch only main issue I had was realizing that it was a discrete GPU and I had a connect the HDMI to the graphics card where as I was used to plug in the VGA cable from the monitor to the motherboard
doesn't matter. OP asked about their build. So answers should be about their build

I could understand making suggestions of equivalent performing components which is I assumed that one user meant B250 + i5.

I don't know much about cases.

On another note shout out to Helios for such exceptional help and this was a terrific learning experience.  A bit questionable Parts but none the less they worked

And the N64 Maniac for backing up his responses much obliged

So what was the final build, including what case you decided on?

Looked exceptional, however with what I know now, perhaps I was a bit to quick to jump the gun, the advice was much appreciated nonetheless .  Built her up last night and of course got stuck at where to insert the VGA cable...turns out I had to plug a HDMI cable into the graphics card.  Now that I know what I know, Helios, any reason you suggested those specific parts? or was it just randomly selected?
The point I wanted to get is that it could save some money buying a cheaper mobo, and invest a little more on GPU (aka GTX 1050 ti).

But that's not valid tip if there are no cheap motherboards yet. XD

I see what you're referring to, concerning the compatibility of the cpu and mobo.  I had faith in the Helios, his force powers seemed strong.  ==Coulda done better==, but that goes with everything no matter what.

What would a 1050ti do for Dolphin that a 1050 wouldn't?

They asked about Dolphin.
