I'm not even sure what that is exactly. It involves the gpu yes?

As you don´t know what it is, no you won´t. Here, just did a few adjustments to lower the price a bit, while slightly improving performance. Left case and peripherals the same, as those a really buyer heavy decisions:

Do you really need a 6600 for a 960? Or to look at it the other way, you should have a better GPU than a 960 for a 6600. If you don't need Cuda, forget Nvidia cards and get an R9 390; it's a better match for a 6600 and is better than a 970. 

What is cuda used for?

It is personal preference, but I own both the Razer Blackwidow Chroma and the Logitech G710+ (with Cherry MX Browns) and I much prefer the G710+. if you wanted RGB you could get the Corsair K70 or something else similar.

Some guy called my office, trying to sell me computers. I just said "oh you mean those little box's with the tv on top? Yeah, our accountant has some". He promptly gave up and hung up the phone lol

I'll actually probably be getting the Blackwidow Ultimate Classic as it is 109$ and the blue will match my mouse. I love the Razer switches however aside from browns they are the only mech switches I have ever used. The reason I put the Blackwidow Chroma on there is becuase PCPartPicker didn't have the Blackwidow Ultimate Classic.

It doesn't really matter, I highly doubt you use it unbeknown to yourself. For that reason, I'd say swap out that 960 for an R9 390, or pick a less powerful, less expensive CPU. 

What specific 390 would you recommend?

How are MSI's GPUs?

MSI is 2nd I believe, but it´s arguable their better than sapphire when you factor in everything. (Like customer service for example.) Tier list goes: Sapphire>MSI>XFX>=Powercolor>>>>>>>>>>>Asus/Gigabyte.

Eh, maybe G2A or Reddit. To be honest, most people don´t include it the build list they make on this forum unless the OP specifically asks for it.

http://goo.gl/Or2tUl This worked for me when I put Windows 10 Pro on my current PC... Sit down before you look at the price... there's even instructions on how to put it on a USB drive.... works great
