Hi, so I'm trying to upgrade my computer to a better gaming computer but I know nothing about computer parts but here's what I have picked up so far:

Motherboard: Asus Z170-A, LGA1151, Intel Z170, DDR4, ATX
RAM: Kingston 16GB(2x8GB) HyperX Fury DDR4 2666 MHz, CL15
Processor: Skylake i5-6600K, LGA1151, 3,5GHz, 6MB
Cooling: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
Hard drive: Seagate 1TB Barracuda, 3.5", Sata3, 7200rpm, 64MB

I'm not sure about the hard drive because I just picked it up bc it's cheap.
I'm not currently going to buy SSD.
And I already have a Nvidia GeForce GTX 960 graphics card

Thanks in advance.

Hard to tell if it will be "better" since you didn't say what you upgraded from, but in general that build is perfectly good for gaming even with better graphics cards.

Well currently my computer is 6 years old and has i3 and a very shitty motherboard so I think that upgrade is needed
