Build Plan Critique & Advice Please

[niicholai]

Alright, so I am going to build my first gaming rig.  I've been doing a lot of research the last few weeks and I'm getting ready to pull the trigger and start buying parts.  I've put together a build on PC Part Picker, but I still have a few questions with little confidence as this will be my first build.

First, let's get my goals and usage out of the way.  I will be using a single 42" 1080P TV as my monitor in HDMI.  I have no interest in going past 1080P at max settings in games.  I intend on going into 1080P @ max settings and would like to see 60FPS minimum.  I will not need peripherals such as mouse and Keyboard as I have gaming ones setup already.  I also already have a copy of Windows 10 ready.

My biggest concern with this build is upgrading, so my biggest question would be will I be able to easily upgrade this rig later?  Better processor such as a i5-6600K if I ever need it, another 8GB stick of RAM so I can stream, etc.  I also need to know if anything is overkill as I'm not interested in going past 1080P @ max settings now and in the future.

Also, I only have an SSD selected as I already have an extra HDD and an External as well.

Here is my current planned build.

yes you could definitely upgrade your cpu and ram. but, i wont advice a k since the k variants are sometimes used in z boards. and the rest i think are solid. but you will have no problem maxing out games at 1080p with that GPU

would recommend dropping the heatsink and getting a cheaper h110 mobo to fit in an i5. also, there's a seasonic g-650 for $50 after rebates, would be better than the rosewill photon(still pretty decent).

As everyone else said before me, get i5 6400 or i5 6500 if you are getting GTX 1060.
