What kind of performance can I expect on common games (FPS on Overwatch, CS:GO, Doom, etc).

Is the extra money for an i5-6500 worth it, or should I stick with i3?

I would definitely fork out the extra $90 and get the i5. You'll do alright with just the i3, but with the i5 you won't encounter any bottle necking and it should allow you to play games well into the future.

If you get an i5, expect frame rates similar to the ones in this article

Looks ok to me except for the PSU. I suggest spending an extra $5 on a better quality PSU, it will save you time and money in the long run.

i3 6100 vs i5 6500 is going to depend on the game, the 6100 is a good little cpu and will pair just fine with that 480 for most games.

I would suggest the Seasonic S12II, or M12II for modular. the EVGA PSU you chose is not made by seasonic but HEC, and I am not a huge fan of HEC when you can get a seasonic @ same price for better quality.

cs:go will be no issue at all, my older rig plows through and this is better so no worries, my rig also plays DOOM beautifully so you will have no issue, cannot speak to others as I do not play them

The S12II 430watt is currently under $40 and enough for that system.
