Is this a good gaming build?

Power - Entry Level

The cooler isn't compatible with Skylake CPUs.

1-10(10 best) It's a strong 3.

When it's time to upgrade please skip the 1050Ti. While it has double VRAM it's not a SIGNIFICANT upgrade that would be worth $130. But...

When it's time to upgrade please skip the 1050Ti. While it has double VRAM it's not a SIGNIFICANT upgrade that would be worth $130. But what about the 2GB model for less? Then where is the VRAM upgrade? Bad idea all around. The 1060 38GB would be a good compromise. The 1060 6GB would be a good match for the 6600 i5.

As far as the CPU I would eventually upgrade to the i5 6600.

That CPU does include its own heatsink/fan combo with thermal paste pre-applied. An aftermarket cooler isn't necessary but will help to keep the CPU cooler.

Im planning on upgrading that later, im out of moolah. Its just a card I salvaged from my old pc.
I'm kind of a universal gamer, I play lots of different types of games. Like Rust, War Thunder, BF, Squad, stuff like that.
