I just decided to upgrade my whole PC so it's my current pc's spec:
cpu: Pentium(R) dual core e5200 2.5 ghz
ram: 2 gb ddr2
gpu: g210 1gb ddr3
i want to buy a Intel Skylake Core i5-6400 and a gtx 960 4gb and 8 ro 16 gb ddr3 of ram and a new motherboard
i wanna know that i need to upgrade my fan?
is this system good enough for gaming ?
what motherboard do you suggest that supports the new hardwares and have a good price?

The stock intel fan and cooler is good. You dont need another, youre not overclocking
Yes its fine for gaming. Better if you up to a gtx 970 or r 390
H170 mobo - preferably asus
DDR4 is the same price. Id be getting that bc youll probably be able to reuse it in a few years if you upgrade. I cant see DDR3 mobos being available for too long much longer

e.g. i used 1600mhz ddr3 in my PC build in 2010, again in a new build in 2012 and finally retired it last year with new skylake ddr4 build
