Snip

I would not buy that GPU. I would get a gtx 1060 6GB or an RX480 4GB.

 

I would also avoid getting that PSU. look for a CX450M instead, or a seasonic S12.

 

Also, if you're looking for future proof, Z170 boards can be bought for around the same price as that lousy B150 board... it would be a good idea to check out some of those. You could also save a lot of money on your motherboard by going with a H110 board (they can start as low as 50 dollars) and spend it on something else like a better GPU, PSU, or maybe an SSD in your system as a boot drive.

Get a cheaper board to get a better PSU and a 6GB 1060 or Rx 480 8GB depending on the titles you play the most.
