Hello! So let's get straight in to it i am building my new gaming pc the specs i am planning on getting is
Case: Corsair 400c
Mobo: H170 plus d3
Cpu: I5 6500
GPU: Rx 480 4gb
RAM: 12 gb ddr3

So i was thinking at getting a much cheaper case and getting a i5 6600k instead of i5 6500 and a rx 480 8gb instead of rx 480 4gb is it worth it cause at the same time i want a good looking pc but also a slightly better pc. Will it be a huge diffrence in gaming like cs go , gta 5 , mafia 2 etc?

Well the 6600k does have a slightly higher clock than the 6500 but in my opinion it is only worth the extra price if you plan on overclocking it and for that you would need a Z170 mobo as well. Personally I would skimp on the case for higher performance parts however it will not make a "huge" difference. What power supply will you be using? Do you already have that 12gb of ddr3?
