Thanks a lot. I'll look into the Gigabyte for its availability, otherwise 1030 it is.

Re: Windows 10 changing language

It specifically states Single Language. Also, I want to install Windows 10 Korean as native and add English as an add on later, If needed. The Dell support staff are quite confusing. though.

Windows 10 changing language

I just bought a Lenovo Desktop and it came with windows 10 Home English preinstalled, and the license says its for a single language.

Can I do a clean install and install windows 10 Home Korean and use the same license ? The support folks here are not quite helpful.

Thanks

Other note,  The 6700K doesn't come with a cooler. Most of the after market coolers I see are rated for 65W to be used in mITX. Any suggestions?
