Hey, I saved some money and since I sold my "old" rig I wanted to buy a new PC and only wanted to keep my graphics card (a R9 290X). So I did some research and collected parts for a new PC.
Now I want to ask you if there're any problems with it in terms of bottlenecking because I couldn't find a proper site to test a virtual setup as I imagined and couldn't get any feedback in local computer shops.
I plan to play games on that PC (Battlefield 4, COD BO2 etc.), stream these games but also do some light work with Photoshop and some video editing programs, but I didn't want to focus on performance while rendering as long as it affects my gaming experience. So I can live with render times that are higher as long as I get the best gaming experience. The main usage will be to play games.
I'll only list my main components because either way I plan on upgrading to SSD in the future and my Soundcard isn't relevant for the performance.
I also wanted to buy the Corsair H100i GTX Water cooler because the CPU is tray.
So here's my setup.
I'll also list my old setup.
I'm 18 years old and and I'm still visiting school in Germany, I'm also working in a drugstore, so I only have a small budget. Please keep that in mind and I know for sure that it isn't a NASA setup.
Also I hope I chose the right forum, I'm not used to post on tomshardware.

So here's my setup.
i5 6600K (figured this CPU has a nice price power balance and is the most powerful I could afford)
Asus ROG Maximus VIII Hero (only hero instead of ranger because of the nice plastic thing)
HyperX DDR4 16GB 2666MHz (2x8GB so upgrade ist possible)
MSI R9 290X (still have it from my old setup so I think I won't be able change it)
I'll also list my old setup.
AMD 8120
M5A97 EVO R2.0
HyperX Genesis 8GB 1866MHz
MSI R7770 (later my new R9 290X)
