Please Help : First Computer Build

[ContraHacker]

Hey everyone, 

 

I need a new PC and I am building it within 4 days from now. (6th April 2016) I have been trying to make a PC using the PC Part Picker, but I find myself scratching my head.

 

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/6Kgr99 This is what I have came up with. Its pretty good for my as I am going to be gaming in no more than 1080p Most probably 720p. 

 

However, I am going to a different state, 200KMs away from home, and they might not have The new skylake processors and DDR4 RAM. So I want to make a backup system using readily available DDR3 RAM and compatible CPUs. Please help me make a new system ASAP. Here is what I need. 

 

USB 3.0 Support

At-least GTX 950 or better

At-least a 4 thread CPU (Obviously HyperThreading Enabled)

I will not be overclocking. 

Enough power to run minecraft in high shaders at respectable framerate

Should be able to run GTA 4 or possibly 5

and Keeping the cost as low as possible 

 

My budget is Under 500$ USD or less.

The i3 6100 comes with the stock cooler, has a very low tdp and therefore doesn't need an aftermarket cooler.

Oh I didn't realize. my 6700k didn't so I thought all skylakes dont come with them. Thanks for the clarification

It´s only the K series that don´t come with a stock cooler.

Yeah, only the 6600k and 6700k don't come with stock coolers.

Went with a different idea on how to approach this, not the absolute cheapest, but will be good experience to use.

Ah, my bad. Looked through it too quickly.

[RAAL4]

Is the operation system part of your $500 budget? 

And unless your gonna use a usb drive with OS on it you need an optical drive

You can also consider buying from kinguin/reddit windows marketplace for $20-30, save some of the money for something else. Then find the os iso online and burn it to a disc/usb drive.

Umm...what is that?  kinguin? I know what is windows marketplace. But I was thinking of having the physical disc at hand when needed.
