That should be pretty good for 1080p. Not sure about the quality of that PSU tho.

MSI GE72 Apache Pro-242 - (5700HQ : 970M : 16gb RAM : 17.3" : Win10 : 1TB HDD : Razer Anansi : Some mouse) - hooked up to a 34UM58-P (WFHD) in dual screen

^^^^^^ 16gb of RAM, also see if you can fork out a little more cash for the 7600k. The overclockability will give you a more futureproof rig. (Provided you switch out the GPU)

Better dead than Red.

16gb of ram, and get an evga 500w rather than that cheap psu. I also suggest forking out a little more for a 7600k for overclocking

I'm not sure what you budget is, but definitly go for a 6600k or 7600k if you can, and also if you are going to get a 7th series cpu, get a z270 mobo, there are some that are already on the market for pretty cheap.

 

Also-- if you have any money left over, the gtx 1060 6gb has much better fps, and you will hit 60 fps and up in all games

 

Finally, I don't know much about Sharkoon, but look at some reviews of those products, just to make sure that they are good
