If you're playing games youll need one, integrated graphics are pretty bad

GPU is a graphics card.

 

The integrated graphics should get around 60fps with medium settings. For Evolve, you may need to turn down the settings to get a stable framerate.

Whats your budget?

Hi. 

Seems like you picked a non-K CPU and a Z motherboard that is able to overclock. If you want to overclock, a K processor would be great. 

 

I also really recommend a SSD. 250 GB are becoming more affordable and this would be a very useful size imo (the more the better obviously). Currently, I am using a 500 GB SSD without a HDD. 

 

Edit: PSU wattage depends on your final system (GPU, CPU, etc.). Personally, I am happy with my Corsair PSU. 

 A lot of ppl nowadays argue that you do not actually need an optical drive. You can install Windows via USB and unless you HAVE to use CD/DVD/BluRay, there is not a lot of reasons to get a optical drive.

You go into PCpartpicker and and go into "Choose a Video Card" and find a card GTX 1060 or RX 480 here's the link to the cards 

 

GTX 1060 - https://pcpartpicker.com/product/pbL7YJ/evga-geforce-gtx-1060-6gb-gaming-video-card-06g-p4-6161-kr\

 

RX 480 - https://pcpartpicker.com/product/CpH48d/gigabyte-radeon-rx-480-8gb-video-card-gv-rx480d5-8gd-b

 

Of course if these cards fit your budget

 

Also you don't need a Z170 board on a non K,CPU + the board is $200 which is pricey for a budget

 

Add a SSD (240-256GB)

Hey there

 

The guys gave you some really good suggestions. 

My two cents here:

- consider if you would like to overclock the CPU and make the proper selection either with a motherboard that allows this and an unlocked CPU or with a locked CPU and a motherboard that is less pricey and doesn't have the overclocking abilities. 

- 16GB may be a bit overkill for this so you may start with a single 8GB stick and see how that works. You can always add more if needed for your work.

- WD Blue is a great drive for storage. You may consider adding a SSD for the OS as it would greatly improve the overall responsiveness and loading/boot times of the system.
