First PC build update*

Hello every one thank you for taking time to check this thread out. Im new to the forum and new to pc building but after alot of youtube videos and google searches im comming down to a list of what i want to build. I wanted to ask for help from you guys.  I want to build a well off gamming pc not too weak but not too overpriced and powerfull. i do play alll types of games and i will be streaming stuff like porn, (lets be honest) but im not a content creator. ive made a somewhat list but everything is up to look over anything you guys feel to suggest of the list would be greatly appreciated, im on a budget but if theres something i could get thats better and only 50 er so bucks ill take it. i dont have a color theme yet but as things come together ill see what comes to mind. 

 

LIST 1: With 1060 6GB gpu

What is your exact budget, and gtx 1060 would be enough for 1080p 60fps gaming.

For the CPU, you may want to go with the i5. For gaming, the CPU is not the main kicker, and that quad core is competent. For ram, you dont exactly need 32GB unless you intend to use Ramdisk or similar. I'd recommend 16 in a 2x8 configuration, since the i5 you listed is Dual Channel. For a black case, one that I am in love with is my Corsair Obsidian 450D, it has decent cooling out of the box with air filters on every intake, including the PSU's.

You definitely do not need the 6700k for gaming only. The 6600k is more than adequate. Like someone mentioned already, 32GBs of memory is unecessary. You can get by with just 8GB for gaming, though i think 16GB is perfect. As for motherboard, you will want a Z170 chipset board so you can overclock your cpu.

I do recommend it though. You dont need to go for huge overclocks, but something like 4.5GHz can be as simple as changing the multiplier from 40 to 45 in your bios. After all, you are paying a decent amount more money for a Z170 motherboard and a K series chip which is pretty much all about the fact that it can be overclocked.
