CPU: Intel Core i5 6600
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H1110M-A Micro ATX LGA1151
Memory: GeIL EVO POTENZA 8 gb (2 x 4 gb) DDR4 – 2133
Storage: AData Premier SP550 240 gb 2.5” SSD
Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5” 7200rpm Internal Hard Drive
Video Card: AMD Radeon RX480 (Release 6/29)
Case: Fractal Design Core 1500 Micro ATX Mini Tower Case

Here are two builds. Both have the very good EVGA GS PSU, but the second has a nicer MB with a PCIe x4 expansion slot and more storage. You won't notice any difference between the 6500 and 6600. I suspect the RX 480 will be a bit more than $200 when first available.
