I will be using this build for low gaming (cs go, league of legends) and i want this to be future proof, overclockable and expandable. I am expecting 60fps on 1080p with Maximum/High settings.
My budget is $1000-$1300 dollars OR $1000-$1500 w/ monitor.

 

Thanks everyone for helping!

You should get the I5-6600k, the regular 6600 isn't overclockable, and it's only 50$ more, but with that budget, currently it's only using 1184.52 out of 1500 max, so put either an I7 6700k in there or a second 390.

I7-6700k @ 4.8Ghz, EVGA Z170 Classified, Corsair Vengeance LPX 4x8 32 GB, EVGA FTW+ ACX 2.0 GeForce GTX 980ti 6 GB x3, 2Tb WD Black x3, 1Tb Samsung 850 Evo, 400Gb Intel NVME PCIE SSD, Corsair RMx 850w 80+ Gold, Corsair Strafe Cherry MX Brown RGB, SteelSeries Sensei Raw

This is decent though OP can afford more so get a i5-6600k, a BeQuiet! Pure Rock CPU cooler, a 256GB SSD, and a possible better GPU though for 1080p the 390 is enough. Oh and get DDR4 for skylake and a bigger mobo.

P.S. the PURE ROCK is better then the 212 Evo
