Hello, i'm pretty new to PC gaming, and I need some help with my first build. I'm currently running this:

CPU:  Intel Core i5-6500 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor

MOTHERBOARD:  Asus H170M-E D3 Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard

RAM:  G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-2133 Memory

STORAGE:  Kingston HyperX Fury 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive (for OS and some games)

AND:  Toshiba 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

GPU:  EVGA GeForce GTX 960 2GB SuperSC ACX 2.0+ Video Card

CASE:  Corsair SPEC-01 RED ATX Mid Tower Case

PSU:  EVGA SuperNOVA NEX 750W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply

DISC DRIVE:  Lite-On iHAS124-14 DVD/CD Writer (I know its bad its supposed to be)

Any suggestions would be great, and if anyone would like t build a fresh one please keep it around 750$.

Thanks in advanced!!

That's a pretty good system, there's no reason to rebuild the whole thing.

 

I recommend you upgrade the GPU, to a GTX 1070 (when aftermarket coolers come out in a month or two)

 

That PSU is questionable quality but it does work, so you don't need to replace it right now.

(Source: people often hate on it on these forums but I have two of em that have worked for years)
