Any reason you want the 6600K? Typically in a gaming build the most expensive part is the GPU

Slightly better performance, equal price.

960 is only good for MOBOs and stuff like that, most other things have to be on medium-low. Recomened 16 GB of ram. some other tweaks could be made here and there.

[Pankaic]

Does that mobo support overclocking? If not, then you don't need a k-skew cpu. It'd also be better to utilize dual-channel technology and get a 2x4 kit of ram instead of a single 8gb stick. And finally, for the $200 price point, the r9 380 tends to be the better card. And you'll need more storage space in the future, so a 1tb hdd should be a future addition.

Don't forget an operating system unless you already have one

No I'll switch the mobo

Sorry, but as a 2gb 960 owner, that is utter hogwash. Sure, a 380 will beat it, but I still max Planetside 2, World of Tanks, Warthunder, MGSV, Elite:Dangerous, and many more. Also, 8gb is fine for todays standards.

1080p right

One 8 gig stick is cheaper than 2 4 gig sticks any way
