Build suggestions please for gaming (mostly) and some 3D rendering

[Xelot]

Hi guys, need some build suggestions from scratch as a replacement for my old Core 2 Duo build. Its my first time trying to build a PC.

 

-$850 budget (I'm from the Philippines and I'm buying the parts here, currency in $US will do)

 

-To be used for gaming (mostly) and some 3D rendering (vRay RT- so an nVidia card is ideal)

 

-Is a Skylake build possible considering there's no heat sink included out of the box? Is it worth it? (Budget is limited for now, but I'm planning to upgrade in the future)

 

-And a decent budget case 

 

-No need for mouse, keyboard and monitor, though I'm planning to have a dual monitor setup soon.

 

Thanks!

Though I'd say even if you drop to a i5 4690k and Z97 and use the stock cooler, it would be fine too. You should do that and drop the extra money into an SSD. 120GB is fine.
