@glitchmaster0001 Maybe OP edited it, regardless...

@Franpadi Do you need any peripherals and OS?

Well that's essentially the question I was about to ask but sure...

Also, what resolution would you be playing at and what settings you might be looking at for that resolution?

please dont go with that

look at my build. it will give you similar performance but is MUCH better in terms of part quality

Wait a little longer and get the GTX 1070 instead. Other than that, this build is probably the best you can get for the money, besides the fact that a 16GB kit is probably going to be a little cheaper and is actually guaranteed to run in dual-channel.

the 1070 is still a decent while away 

not a lot cheaper.  a $6 difference

Yep, 6600k is a k CPU so it is OCable and the MOBO is a z170 chipset so that's good too

Don't expect massive performance improvements with an air cooler but you should get at least 0.5 Ghz

Is it worth waiting for 1070?

That was my concern, what about a better cooler is it a good idea

Edited my post. Also, two 8GB sticks aren't rated to run in dual-channel, so there's a chance you'll be stuck running them in single channel.

If it's an immediate necessity, the R9 390 is about 15% faster overall and pulls ahead by miles in DirectX 12 titles, all for the same price.

i personally have never ran into the issue of not running in dual channel, and even if it does, it'll impact performance 5%

Guess i will wait for the 1070 then.

If you can't afford the extra $70 you could change out the case for something cheaper...
