I would suggest dropping the overclocking, adding an ssd, and getting a better sized psu.

XFX psu are manufactured by Seasonic. I would venture to say it is arguably better than the X series psu. It is certainly a better value.

 

A Crucial ssd was selected because of its blue highlights. Cruicial is a very reputable memory company. They offer excellent ssd.

Ah ok, I'll add XFX to my whitelist then. I didn't know that.

 

I know Crucial is reputable for RAM but for SSDs? I mean Kingston is good for RAM but their v300 series of SSDs sucks...

Should i just get the 4690 since it runs at a faster clock speed then the 6600?

No. The Skylake motherboard makes it more future proof.

Actually it does not. The i5-4690 has a base clock of 3.5GHz and a max turbo frequency of 3.9GHz. The i5-6600 is 3.3GHz and 3.9GHz. The i5-6600 should run cooler and thus quieter when possible but will crank itself up to the same clock speed as the i5-4690 top speed when needed. Since Skylake cores perform about 5% better than same clock Haswell, the i5-6600 is the better performer.

CPU with Intel Turbo Boost technology are able to dynamically adjust the clock speed in response to processor loading. http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/architecture-and-technology/turbo-boost/turbo-boost-technology.html?wapkw=intel+turbo+boost

so the speed of the cpu goes up under load without having me to manually overclock it?
