Both of em are good and got.some advantages. The first one got i5 processor and ssd and better.gpu. if.u can afford the I 7 6700k.on that it should be.brilliant
But if u cant afford that.cpu for.that u should go for another.choose which already got i7 6700k and afford an ssd.drive for it for faster.process. how ever if I wanna dont change any.thing in these 2 optimal cases I will chose the one which got i7 6700k processors also the 1060 is.good enough for playing.game 60fps in fhd and qhd..
Best regards
Khd

Better build, $20 more for a better GPU cooler, a better, modular PSU (450w is cutting it, go to 550w), a better case, a better motherboard and 120GB of additional SSD storage.

You have compromised the main thing for everything else, a better CPU.

An i7 6700 performs pretty much the same as an i5 6500 in 90% of games, and the ones it does beat it in, it only improves frame rates by a small amount.
Your power supply was barely sufficient regardless, and going for an i7 with a bare bones budget motherboard that has a poor quality sound chip isn't a good idea.
A CPU upgrade is good, but not always a good idea when there is still much to be improved on, a 240GB SSD or a case with decent build quality rather than that Xion case, never heard of them and it looks very cheap/poorly made.....

The i7 performs same in single threaded games but nowadays that trend is waning, if you know what i mean, and the games u r talking about is passe as focus is coming back more to to the same.
The motherboard you have listed doesnt do much except increasing the channel qualities. If you know about any other difference, please list the same.
And lastly, the build has been enhanced wherever it is required.

4 RAM slots, M.2 connectivity, 6 SATA ports. ;)
For gaming, the improvements in my build above are simply better choices, a 120GB SSD is bare minimum I would go with, and the power supply isn't quite in comfortable range, make some adjustments according to what i said above, could well be a decent option. :)

Wait mb, ssd was for another thread. ;.;
Sacrificing so many needed elements such as a 240GB SSD for a tiny bit more performance is a silly move, at what point are you going to go; oh, I have an i7 6700k and a 1080, but I have a 120GB mid range SSD, a 1TB HDD, a budget case with poor build quality, a budget semi-modular PSU that will power it because I added up the TDPs. (That's not entirely how you get power draw by the way)
Its a matter of priorities and realism, not performance performance performance.

Let me post an example, you have a $1200 budget, which is better between these two?
By the way, using your logic a Titan XP with a 6700k overclocked at 100% load will run fine on a 450w PSU because that's their TDPs added together, again, not how it works.
You have to ask yourself at what point you stop considering more threads as better over other crucial features such as the motherboard or case.

Ohh...and you mean that your opinion and point of view has not been considered by anybody else and all the websites and reviewers and benchmarks and facts and figure all over the web are craplist.
Ok...now coming to the main factor, ssd can be bought along the way to be added...anothe 120gb or 240gb maybe later on. How will you add a stronger processor??? Also state the factors where ssd is more useful relatively other than OS essentials.
What will you do if a game like minecraft(example) or higher doesnt run due to less power in ur chip???
And what will you do with a $200 case when the machine running inside it is not even worth it???

Not talking about spending absurd amounts of money on functionality, just modest ones.
You could buy a 1060 instead of a 1050, and have it running out of a cardboard box.
$10-15 more on a case adds significantly more to the quality of a system, there's a reason why people don't go for the cheapest cases on part picker necesarily, it's because more often than not with the exception of a few like the Deepcool Tesseract and Zalman Z3 Plus, they have poor support, airflow or build quality.
Sometimes it's about finding a balance, not one or the other, that is all i'm trying to say here, no more.
Don't turn it into a personal argument, we're here to help the OP, PM me if you want to continue this discussion.
