First I am questioning building my own Pc they told me its fun and because if I tell a pro to do it for me it will cost extra as we all know so what do you think ?
second if you think Its a good idea to build my pc help me chos the parts (I already picked those so you tell me If something must be changed ):
i3-6100 3,7 GHZ
Arctic Freezer 11LP (Just because I think the cooler that comes with the CPU Isnt enough)
Corsair Vengance LPX 8G DDR4 2400 MHZ
MSI GEFORCE GTX 1060 6 GT OC
corsair VS550
CARBIDE-88R (or the air240 idk yet)
WD 1 TB
BTW (I am willing to play BF1,OVERWATCH,LOL And GTA V)

the cooler that comes with the cpu is ugly and since the r88 has a window It would bother me seeing that cooler :/ and I think in about 4-5 months ill change that cpu with a i5-6600 k so it will be kinda useful .

If you are upgrading to an i5 then thats youre problem sorted because the i3 isnt the best for gaming, as now games are requiring 4 physical cores. That said, whats the motherboard you want to get?

I also dont think that getting an i3 now and then upgrading in 5 months is a good idea. In my opinion you are wasting money, as you wont be able to get the same amount of money for it.

Oh my bad I didnt write it its the :MSI B150M BAZOOKA
, I cant afford the i5-6600 unless I get the gtx 950 strix at the place of the 1060 the difference is huge so its better imo to go with the i3 and the 1060 than the i5 and the 950.

How about an rx480? I know that the 1060 is slightly faster at a slightly higher price, but the rx480 has better dx12 support, so in future games it will be faster. How long before you plan to upgrade. Also consider getting a better psu, the vs series isnt the best.

if the purpose of your pc is solely for gaming, then the GPU, however as the CPU does everything that the GPU cant in games, you need a good one of those aswell. For gaming, nothing more than an i5 is needed. Even for things like Video-Editing and Rendering, an i5 will do well. An i7 is only for heavy multitasking, and doing it all at the same time, so rendering, video editing and gaming at 60fps. As I am not sure about how much money you want to spend, and in what country you live, I cant tell you the parts that you should get, however a 1060 and an i5 6600k will do well together. For the PSU, the system only takes as much as the components need. For example, if youre system needs 300w and youre psu is 1000w, the system will only be consuming around the 300w. The efficiency rating, and if the psu is modular or not, is what you should be looking for. The better the efficiency rating, the less extra power your psu has, is wasted. If you have a modular PSU, that means you can take out the cables, so you wont have a bunch of cables you dont need in your system. Semi Modular means that you can take out some cables. When I said you might want to upgrade your psu, I meant get a better quality one. One that I have in my system is the xfx ts 550w psu. If you dont mind, tell me which country you live in and how much you want to spend on a psu and I'll recommend one.

What country do you live in? Also as you have a b150 motherboard dont get the i5 6600k as you wont be able to overclock. You need a z170 motherboard for that. You can either go for an i5 6500, which is a fair amount cheaper, or if you want to get a slightly better performance than that you can get the i5 6600 (non k). Its basically the same as an i5 6600k, except you cant overclock it, however you have a b150 motherboard anyways, so thats not a problem.

Thank you I never Knew that you cant overclock on that mother board so the real question here is do I buy a powerful Cpu and a ok Gpu or an ok cpu and a powerful Gpu (keep in minde that this system will be upgraded more than one time )

If you are going to upgrade the cpu, as fast as you as you said you would (4-5 months) then you can live with an i3 for the time being. If not I would suggest getting an i5 6500, which is more than enough for games, maybe an i5 6600 if you can make it happen. The BF1 requirements are really weird, because it says that the recommended cpu from amd is the fx-8350 however an i5 6500, i5 6600, or 6600k are better cpus at most, if not all times. So an i5 6500 or 6600 will be more than enough. I would pair it up with an rx-470, its basically the same as an rx-480, with some minor features turned off. On Amazon.com an Rx470 is only 20 dollars more expensive than a 2gb gtx 950. If its not the same in your country, I would go for a 4gb R9 380 or 380x but they have higher power draws then the rx 470.
