It's the first time I want to build a gaming PC, but it's more difficult than i expected. Most builds i follow are meant for overclocking, but I'm not going to overclock anything(As long as I don't need to). So I decided to go to this forum hoping you guys could help me out.

First I wanted to buy the Intel i5 6600k, but I didn't know whether or not it is the best buy when you won't overclock. Do you guys have any suggestions for a CPU?

The budget for my gaming PC is somewhere between €1000 and €1500, so i'm looking for a cpu between €200 and €350. I would like to keep my system as quite and cheap as possible(but still good enough performance).
