Hello, I recently made a build on pcpartpicker.com with a friend but would like the advice of other people just to be certain. My budget is under 1100$. I'm not planning to over clock and just need PC and OS. Them is black/white.
Here is the build:

The system you've got will overclock. The one I have listed will overclock as well, but a little cheaper. Performance wise, they will be very close. I include a higher quality PSU as well.

I see but will the performamce be less good with the i5 6500 instead of the 6600K? And my budget is 1100$ and your build comes at 1009... Could you upgrade something ? Thanks!

Alright I've looked it over a little bit and made a few changes. Instead of a 120GB SSD I've replace it with a 250GB since you'll be needing more space on your primary drive where games are installed (because gaming are getting more and more bigger in size) , also the MSI's TwinFrozer technology cools your GPU better and it is one of the most silent GPU's even at max loads.
As for the WD Secodary storage, I've replaced it with a Seagate Barracuda 1TB Drive. Because personally I prefer the Seagate drives ( I am saying this with experience). because they perform better than the WD Drives and are less bulky and aesthetic looking.
Here is the revised part-list: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/7d8chM
Hope this helps. Let me know. :)

You could upgrade the video card I listed to an R9 390 and then get a larger PSU to go with it.
