Hi everyone, been a console gamer since the NES era and now switching to PC gaming. My situation is a bit complex. I am currently studying in Japan however I live in Southeast Asia. With that said, the case and the monitor is fixed. However, the rest Ill be buying them in Japan. Here is my prospective build http://pcpartpicker.com/p/ynZ699. I want to build a gaming PC under 1000 US dollars including the monitor which I have said before is fixed since Ill be buying the case and the monitor in Southeast Asia. I have chosen skylake because I have way too many GameCube and PS2 games lying around and I still play them sometimes on the consoles but it would be nice to play it at 1080p 60FPS. I don't really care about twitch or 1440p, I just love playing single player games like AC or borderlands at 1080p. So basically all I'm looking for here is to able to run emulators smoothly and play third person action games at 1080p 60FPS with no hiccups. Very new to PC gaming so really need advice. Ill be buying them this Xmas. I'm also planning to build an ITX build so really need help since ITX is harder to build than a normal PC. Heres the ITX:http://pcpartpicker.com/p/cqjPCJ

if possible use black Friday and cyber Monday deals to get a 90gb ssd for OS only so that you can use the 250 one for gaming only.
also for your requirement you don't need the "K" version at all. you can do it with all i5's listed below so get the cheapest one. this way you can dump the CPU cooler as well.

-5675C, -4690K, 4670K, -4590, -4670, -4570, -4460, -4440, -4430, -3570K, -3570, -3550
