    That's a pretty solid build. Where do you plan to purchase the parts from?

    There is no actual difference between a "gaming" and a normal motherboard besides possible features. Even so, those features personally I don't find worth it.

    Mostly branding and aesthetics. there is nothing specific, but usually a gaming board will focus on VRM cooling (which is already fine on the cheaper Z boards) and Xfire/SLI ability, which is only really for those with a far less restrcitive budget, and not a performance per dollar benefit in any way. If you want a moderate overclock and nothing much else from the mobo, find the cheapest z class board you can and look at the specs. If there's nothing you want that you can't see, it's fine.

    Even a 980ti cant be future proof... you cant future any PC even if MAX out right now. But 720p or following year that would work but anything over 1080p that poor 960 is going to die in a few years and no SSD? and not so good PSU? i would get better branded PSU like RM/XFX/V(CoolerMaster) because it not suited for long use/gaming.

    Hello guys,
     
    I am trying to compile my first gaming build here in India where some parts are quiet expensive as compared to say Newegg (USD).
     
    The main aim is playing games like Far Cry 4 and future proofing for 4-5 years (open to swap GPU though). I currently have a 720p monitor which is not going anywhere for another year.
     
    Here is what I am planning:
     
    CPU - i5 6600k - $260 (Not going for 4690k as there is a very little price difference)
    CPU Cooler - Cooler Master Hyper 212x - $46
    Motherboard - Asus Z170k ($193) vs Gigabyte Z170 D3H ($182) vs Asus Z170 Pro Gaming ($225) - Very confused here. Need help. Will overclock but do I really need Pro Gaming?
    GPU - Asus GTX 960 2G AMP - $246 Ques - Would 960 do justice here?
    RAM - 8GB Kingston Hyperx 2133 - $63
    HDD - 1 TB WD - $55
    PSU - Corrsair VS-650 - $63 Corrsair CX 600 80 Bronze Plus - $70
    Case - Corrsair Carbide Series Spec 03 - $63
     
     
    My initial budget was $800, but future proofing and some expensive parts had me stretch by around $180.
