Go with a 480 build. Don't wait for Zen. Most AMD cpu are not up to today's gaming. Skylake also offers upgradability and don't get a z170 if you won't oc. That cpu can not be oc while mobo is meant for oc stuff

first one but cut down the PSU to a 500W one, go with that one because Kaby Lake is comming too and you can slap an unlocked I5 from there in that motherboard and then everything is well and happines to the people basically :P you could also wait for Zen but if you just keep waiting like that there will be no end too it and you will never get a computer xD 

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

or do this build?http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/b/KJLD4D. its a very capable build and should be able to do plenty of tasks. also because the cpu is skylake you will be able to upgrade to an i5 6600k or i7 6700k in the feature if you want.
