If it is just gaming you can do Skylake.

Hi, if your RIG is mainly for gaming, there is no reason for you to get an i7.

and that motherboard that you choose is simply overpriced.

this is what i suggest. msi is now doing a promotion. FREE RAINBOW SIX SIEGE game with that motherboard.

and you should invest more into your graphic card as an i5 6600k will be a beast for you.

and i have also picked an aio liquid cooler for you in case you want to overclock it.

 

also like linus and many other tech reviewers says. the only thing that you can future proof, is your case and the powersupply. others, new things will just keep coming. for your budget, a 980ti is really the way to go.
