Cheap bundle required

Hi
My 6 year old shuttle pc has bitten the dust
I only used it for storing files on/sort of backup to my mac
At most its only ever used for internet browsing and mass file renaming

I only need a motherboard, cpu and ram (must be micro-atx)
I have my old st03 pc case, psu, ssd, hdds etc

So it purely the brain/engine of the computer i need, was looking at those cheap celeron builtin motherboards but not sure on power

Looking to spend as less as possible, so i know it will be a pentium/amd build, but i have no issues using either

All help apppreciated

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x Intel Core i3-6100 3.70GHz (Skylake) Socket LGA1151 Processor - Retail= £99.95
1 x Gigabyte H110M-S2H Intel H110 (Socket 1151) DDR4 Micro ATX Motherboard= £46.99
1 x Asus H110M-K Intel H110 (Socket 1151) DDR4 Micro ATX Motherboard= £46.99
1 x Kingston Fury Black 8GB (2x4GB) DDR4 PC4-19200C15 2400MHz Dual Channel Kit - Black (HX424C15FBK2/8)= £28.99

Total: £233.42
(includes shipping: £10.50)

No idea on what CPU power on need either.

I have recently used the ASUS board in a build and it powered On and hasnt caught fire yet...what more do you need from a board.

Thanks blimey, didnt want to spend anywhere near that
I thought about £120/£130 tops

Oh well lol

One of those boards+RAM with a Pentium G4400 comes to £130.

Maybe you dont need 8Gb in dual channel mode and a single stick will do of 4Gb - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/cruc...mhz-single-module-ct4g4dfs8213-my-199-cr.html
