Building my first PC

Hello, so , like i said in the title, I'm going to build a pc and need some suggestions, my goal is to be able to play basically everything in 1080p at +60fps, i was thinking about this:

 

CPU: i5 4690 (no K, i know, but i don't think I'm going to want to overclock in the future)

GPU: AMD RX 480

RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB DDR3 1600

Case: NOX MC HUMMER 3.0

HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 1TB SATA3

Motherboard: No idea at all

Power Supply: Again, no idea at all

SSD: None

My price range is around 700-800 €, I know the RX 480 is maybe a bit overkill, but i don't want to have to change my graphics card in 2-3 years so, any suggestions/tips you have, make sure to comment. 

 

Thanks for helping and sorry if i had any error, english is not my first language.

you dont need skylake, and the 480 is not over kill.

A bit more expensive (can remove SSD). I personally think PSU and SSD are a really good investment because they can be used in future builds easily. I also think it is better to spend about 40 more euros to be able to afford a motherboard that allows overclocking and a cpu that allows it. You are right that the 4690k is similar to the i5 skylake CPUs but skylake is still better and its only a tiny bit more expensive. Not to mention because of you having this motherboard you can upgrade your CPU easier in the future depending on if you want to.

Thank you all guys for helping, but I think I'm going to keep with the i5 4690 rather than a skylake, it performs better than a 6600 and it's  cheaper, and for the SSD, (i think this is true, but not sure) it doesn't improve in.game performance. For the motherboard I think i'll keep this one as suggested http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157369&cm_re=LGA_1150-_-13-157-369-_-Product however, the power supply suggested is ready for SLI , which I'm most likely never going to do) and maybe it's too much power for what i need, so if you have any suggestions for a PSU you know what to do.

This is false. Also, skylake offers faster DDR4 memory.

 

Do you have a particular online store where you're buying your parts, maybe I could browse through there.

Yes i do, http://www.pccomponentes.com/ (it's a spanish website, so maybe you'll have a bit of a problem, if anything, ask me.)

And for the skylale thing im basing on this: http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i5-6600-vs-Intel-Core-i5-4690 maybe i didn't understand it right but the only better thing in the 6600 is the integrated graphics which i dont need

I did have a few problems with the site but google translate delivered.

€489.80 + €49.95 Nox Hummer MC Case + €269.00 Sapphire Radeon RX 480 8GB = €808.75 All in all

Alternate case: €41 Aerocool Aero 500, I've seen some good reviews of this

 

*Consider waiting for the aftermarket variants of the 480

*Get an i5 6500 for €30 less if you're short on budget, it'll make it around €780

After looking at what you posted i got to this:

 

I decided to go for a bit better motherboard cause i have enough money and with that RAM cause the case has a window on the side and i want it to look cool xD (Also i forgot to add the SSD) Thanks for helping and if you have any final suggestions leave them below and if not I'll close this post. Thanks again for helping.Sin título.png
