What do you think of this build for gaming? (Mid-end budget)

Solution
I think you should use an H170 board with the i5 6500 [ unless you plan to SLI or crossfire].
I think you should use an ATX motherboard if you plan to use that large case .
Again, unless you plan on crossfire or SLI you will not need such an expensive power supply .
And buying a GTX 960 right now is an utter waste since AMD's RX 480 will cost less and utterly smash it when it is released in a few weeks

Assuming you want that case[ it is a good] then something like this makes sense.

Build it and install windows using the inbuilt graphics. In a few weeks prices will have to crash on existing cards as the much more powerful RX480 starts selling at $200
