Hey guys, a really long time ago, maybe nearly a year ago, I made a topic about making a budget gaming PC setup. It took me a really long time to get the components because of some issues, so I couldn't start getting them till recently. Anyhow, my CPU/GPU & Ram arrived but I don't know which motherboard/power supply & hard drive to choose so I'd appreciate if someone could help me!

Currently I got:
- CPU: i3-7100
- GPU: GTX 1050Ti 4GB
- Ram: Kingston 8GB

Note: On the package of the i3-7100, it says that the motherboard must be compatible with a LGA1151 socket.
I will be ordering the components that are left, from a website called egypt.souq.com

These are some of the reasonable prices of power supplies that I found:
https://egypt.souq.com/eg-en/thermaltake-litepower-550w-power-supply-ps-ltp-0550npcneu-2-34548029/i/
(The reviews of this brand aren't looking good)
https://egypt.souq.com/eg-en/cooler-master-500w-masterwatt-lite-36342044/i/
(Bad review as well)
https://egypt.souq.com/eg-en/fsp-power-supply-hyper-s-700w-psu-23088880/i/
https://egypt.souq.com/eg-en/seasonic-ss-520gb-s12ii-520w-80-plus-bronze-power-supply-8323501/i/
https://egypt.souq.com/eg-en/evga-600b-bronze-100-b1-0600-kr-power-supply-600w-10554262/i/
The last 2 links are more expensive, but I can go within such range if necessary.

These are some hard drives:
-Cheap ones (500 GB to 1 TB) (HDD):

https://egypt.souq.com/eg-en/seagate-barracuda-500gb-internal-pc-hard-disk-st500dm002-7770093/i/
https://egypt.souq.com/eg-en/wester...een-64-mb-cache-internal-hard-disk-9570060/i/
https://egypt.souq.com/eg-en/wester...r-desktop-64-mb-cache-green-colour-4232414/i/
https://egypt.souq.com/eg-en/wester...-desktop-hard-drive-green-wd10ezrx-6284313/i/
(There are many more to list, but they're the same amount of space yet nearly 25% more in price so I just stated a couple cheaper ones)

-Moderate price (120 GB) (SDD):
https://egypt.souq.com/eg-en/kingst...a400s37-120g-increase-performance-35164864/i/
https://egypt.souq.com/eg-en/kingst...h-solid-state-drive-sa400s37-120g-35164872/i/

https://egypt.souq.com/eg-en/kingst...3-solid-state-drive-sa400s37-120g-33535245/i/
https://egypt.souq.com/eg-en/kingston-120-gb-internal-pc-hard-disk-sa400s37-31963275/i/
https://egypt.souq.com/eg-en/wd-gre...-2-5-7mm-internal-ssd-wds120g2g0a-28325336/i/
https://egypt.souq.com/eg-en/kingston-ssdnow-v300-120gb-solid-state-drive-sv300s37a-33655696/i/
(The last link is probably the highest price I'll go for a hard drive unless it's really necessary)

Motherboard:
When I searched for 'Motherboard LGA1151' there were only 9 results so I'll just state them below (some are quite too expensive for me).

I'd like it to have built-in WiFi if possible. If any other information is required then please let me know! Thanks in advance!
