First off, this is my first post on here and thank you all in advance for any insights and advice. I'm new to pc gaming, always been on console. Also, I'm ignorant to building, however there are these forums along with plenty of videos out there to help.

I will be using Windows 10 and my goal is to be at a high FPS 60+ or so at 1080p.
I already have a BenQ RL2755HM console monitor that displays at 1920x1080 with 1ms.

My cap is 7-750 USD for this and that's a major stretch TBH.

Below is the build that I have compiled, not quite sure if it's good or I have incompatible parts.

Intel Core i5 6500 3.20 GHz Quad Core Skylake Desktop Processor, Socket LGA 1151, 6MB Cache BX80662I56500

Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO RR-212E-20PK-R2 CPU Cooler with 120mm PWM Fan

MSI Gaming Intel Skylake H110 LGA 1151 DDR4 USB 3.1 Micro ATX Motherboard (H110M Gaming)

MSI GAMING GeForce GTX 1060 3GB GDDR5 DirectX 12 VR Ready (GeForce GTX 1060 GAMING X 3G)

EVGA 500 B1, 80+ BRONZE 500W Power Supply, 3 Year Warranty, Includes FREE Power On Self Tester (100-B1-0500-KR)

Ballistix Sport LT 8GB Kit (4GBx2) DDR4 2400 MT/s (PC4-19200) DIMM 288-Pin - BLS2K4G4D240FSE (Red) by

WD Blue 1TB SATA 6 Gb/s 7200 RPM 64MB Cache 3.5 Inch Desktop Hard Drive (WD10EZEX)

Thermaltake CORE V21 Black Extreme Micro ATX Cube Chassis CA-1D5-00S1WN-00


Most of what I've been looking at is off of Amazon, but I have no problem shopping around!

I should also note that I like the smaller footprint in regards to cases as well, if possible..

Few words.

With this build, you're looking high/ultra settings @ 1080p with solid 60+ FPS. For non-K i5, you don't need aftermarket CPU cooler since CPU will do just fine with the stock Intel's CPU cooler that comes with the CPU. Since i went with i5-7500 Kaby Lake CPU, i put B250 chipset MoBo in that has 4 RAM slots for easy RAM upgrade in the future. MoBo supports RAM speeds up to 2400 Mhz, so, replaced the RAM also. EVGA 500B series PSU is mediocre quality PSU, replaced it with good quality Seasonic PSU that is semi-modular (to ease the cable management) and it's also 80+ Gold certified. Didn't switch out the GPU since it's one of the coolest running and quietest GPUs out there, thanks to the Torx 2.0 fans and Zero Frozr feature. I have the very same GPU in my Skylake build, full specs in my sig. Also, didn't change the case since Core V21 is the most customizable case i know and it's also stackable case with another Core V21.

Here's also comparison between Skylake's i5-6500 and Kaby Lake's i5-7500,
