Get a better CPU try the i5-4690k and get a 400w psu if you look in the upper left of your list it will tell the required wattage no need to go over 50w more than that number currently you are 350w over that

Would an i5 6400 work?

Sure. But the i3-6100 will run CS:GO just fine.

2GB or 4GB

[Ryan Kazzy]

I would go with 8Gb, you can find them on sale for dirt cheap, your OS will use about 1 GB anyways and I'm sure your other products will have back ground functions like steam etc. I have a USB headset and other software that you might get too someday and they do use up quite a bit of ram with their software, better safe than sorry beleive me, I went your route and I had to spend way more upgrading than if I just bought the right amount in the first place.

I was speaking about VRAM, but yes i totally agree 8 gbs of RAM

[Ryan Kazzy]

Ahh yes, okay so 4 gb if its on sale, performance wise there's not that much of a difference between the 2gb 960 and the 4gb 960 with FPS, but I have to say AMD's R9 380 4gb is a little faster than the 960 4gb and a little cheaper too, you would have to overclock the 960 a bit to match it, Im a fan of both brands so I gotta include them. But its up to you what you want, and if you want specifics for both cards with their 2 and 4 gb versions, here's a good review of them: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2015-nvidia-geforce-gtx-960-2gb-vs-4gb-review
