I have acquired the money needed to afford this rig and I am ready to buy the parts for it. I just want to make sure that this is fine for 1080p, 60fps, ultra settings gaming as well as some overclocking.

For OCing I would recommend a different Thermal Paste. But that's just me. I would also recommend getting a small 120gb or 250(ish) SSD for your boot drive / important games and then lower to a 1tb HDD. Other than that it looks tasty and ready for your needs

I have got the cooler master hyper 212 evo, and the thermal compound is fantastic, save your self $5 on it dude!

He needs better Thermal Paste for OCing 

 

Pick up THIS instead

Also go to a 1tb drive and get 120gb or a 250gb ssd for your os and a few games?

I don't see thermal paste as a big issue when overclocking. As you're not going crazy with it, the thermal paste with the 212 evo is good enough

Most times it's not but for me I have never had good experience with stock cooling on most things. But I know coolermaster does have good thermal paste I just like getting a dedicated product.

I don't want to be that guy but you should go for a 1151 CPU and mobo with DDR4 memory. Buying into old standards ain't recommended since you will have to spend a lot of money the next time you want up upgrade. Maybe a 6600K with a ASUS Z170 Pro Gaming and some cheap corsair 8gb memory kit will serve you better for future upgrades.

If 120gb is enough for you. It is for me. I have windows 10 install and League of Legends and FFXIV and it still has around 50gb free space. Other than that I would take Nasses321 suggestion as well. Just be warry if you're going to be multitasking (watching youtube / browsing web) while having a game or other stuff open (if you're playing then newest AAA titles such as Fallout 4, upcoming Far Cry Primal, or the likes) you may want some more ram. Just me tho. I have spotify running along side League of Legends and a preloaded web page up and my 8 os more than enough.
