Attached is the build I have been thinking about purchasing. Thus far, I only have the PSU and monitor listed. I wanted to know how good is this build for gaming at 1080p? The price cap I am working with is anything under $1500 and I do plan on upgrading to 1440p in the future. But in a few years time so nothing that is coming up soon. I have been looking at the new skylake CPUs and the i5-6600k has caught my eye. Since I don't have any of the parts yet minus the PSU and monitor and the upgrade (with mobo and RAM in mind) would cost me about ~$60 extra, I was thinking it might be worth it to make the upgrade since I want this to be a build that will last me a while and that I can build off of if necessary.
My PC is used exclusively for gaming and web-browsing, nothing more. My logic behind the 6600k and the rest is that since I plan on upgrading in the future (besides the performance changes, even if only 10-15% increase), if I am going to upgrade sometime in the future I might as well just get the parts now since they are available. Also, i'm already throwing down this much money on a rig so investing the extra ~$60 seems appropriate.
How is the rest of my rig though? I know its probably not the most cost-efficient but I wanted a good solid build that would run my games solid on 1080p and that I could build off of in the future to make the move to 1440p in 1-2 years time. Any help or advice is appreciated, this is my first build ever and my first (and current) computer was a premade $300 dell computer in 2008 just as a point of reference, I am very desperate for something that can actually run games lol.
