Solution
The included skylake 530 graphics is reasonably good, so you should be able tp play some games.
Actually it is a good idea to start without a discrete graphics card; you will have a better idea of what you really want.
I see little difference.
Check the sound chips and the lan chips to see if either makes a difference to you.

FWIW, skylake runs cool so I doubt that you will need a bunch of fans.
If you have two intakes and a single exhaust, I would plan on that.
What are the rest of your parts?

If you primarily play multiplayer games, then the i5-6500 will be good.
Otherwise, there may be better options.

Yeah, I mainly do play games. I don't have a GPU yet since I'm on a budget but will soon get that.
