If you're building brand new, go for skylake. get an 1151 board, a G4400 (which is slightly better than what you picked there), and a GTX 950 if you can afford that. This will allow you a very good upgrade path in the future, as kaby lake is also going to run 1151, so you could upgrade straight to that if you ever had the cash.

 

What is your budget, where do you live/currency, and what are you using this computer for? We could suggest for you builds within those parameters.

I'd also suggest you go for a low cost H110 or H170 motherboard and a Skylake Pentium such as the G4400.

 

Also, check your hard drive usage. You may find that you can get away with cheap 240Gig SSD instead of the 1TB HDD. (And you can always add an HDD or larger SSD later if you need the space.)

A sieve may not hold water, but it will hold another sieve.

i5-6600, 16Gigs, ITX Corsair 250D, R9 390, 120Gig M.2 boot, 500Gig SATA SSD, no HDD
