I plan on doing this build early June(June first birthday) and using integrated graphics until msi(I love msi's style) releases their 1070 and I though I would get a second opinion.  I know then 6700k is over kill for gaming but, I want the power for other things like slicing stls, compiling programs, emulators for testing, and I also want it.  This is my first build but, I've swapped lots of hardware before btw.

You'd be fine with an i5 but if you have the budget for it there's no reason NOT to get the 6700k

 

I'd recommend a better CPU cooler. Don't get me wrong, the 212 EVO is great, but for a 6700k a larger air cooler or even AIO would be justified.

 

Other than that, it's a great build!

A gaming PC for your budget: $800 - $1000 - $1500 - $1800 - $2600 - $9001

I want to do a custom loop at some point.  I don't want to spend much more now, all the other coolers I found where a good amount more expensive then the 212.  I don't think I would get much more of an overclock on something like the corsair h60 at double the price and would prefer not to add $70 dollars for a h100i.  I'm open to recommendation though, I'm not sold on the 212 myself.
