Im building my first gaming computer, was wondering if these specs are good? I was wondering if i should swap my i3 4160 as im afraid it my bottleneck my gpu for a quad core like i5 4460 or amd x4 860k? Also can anyone recommend a chassis that has a depth of less than 15 inches, because my home is pretty small and i feel like this case might be a too big?

i3 is a good processor, will only be a bottleneck on some games
gtx950 is a good GPU, will play many games OK
But if you want good value for money, go for maximum power per £.

I did a lot of research a few months ago before I built a PC
In England, most bang for your buck was components like these.
Intel Core i5-4460 Quad-Core Processor
Gigabyte GA-H81M-HD3 Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 960 4GB Video Card
Samsung 850 EVO 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
EVGA Supernova Power Supply
DVD optical drive
Aerocool QC 203 Case

A more powerful PC will last years longer than a budget one before you need to upgrade or replace it

Yes, i like that build alot, but im on a buge and Im not gonna be playing hardcore very gpu demanding games, basically like csgo, dota, wow stuff like that, and im on a budget, so also long as my cpu doesnt bottleneck my gpu im fine. But Thank You for all your recommendations

Only concern about your build is the Corsair CX500 power supply. I have a 2 year old one with no problems, but many people on this site say it is rubbish, and recommend better quality..
