I really don't know what to do. My father dont want to buy me a gaming pc like I want, he thinks he knows the best way. He bought  me a 8gb ram i5 6500 dell PC. And added a gtx745. Because he bought a small computer.

I finally got him to buy me a normal gaming PC. But he thinks he knows everything. He thinks a i5-6500 8gb  ram and I want a 16gb i7-6700k. At least I got him to agree for gtx1050ti.

 

Here is what I'm asking for you, a link to a good gaming pc that isn't too expensive so he could buy me it. Thanks!

hes right xD 6700k is mainly for workstations, and for this build, unless you plan on doing alot of multi tasking, or you dont like turning off your computer for some reason, then 8gb is enough. also when you say link you a gaming c do you mean prebuilt or parts list, also whats "not to exensive" like $500? $1000? $1000000000?(maybe your bill gates son)

Are you sure? All my friends keep telling me you need i7 and 16gb of ram if you wanna run games like ark, overwatch and more on high settings.  and Linus said gamers recommended is i7-6700k in one of his vids. 

no, most games can only take advantage of 4 cores/threads(though i can confirm overwatch can use at least 8) so the premium for the 4 extra threads the 6700k gives you over the 6600k isnt worth, and the money would be much better sent elsewhere, but 16gb of ram is good if your going for a mid to high end build, but since your going for a low to medium end build 8gb is enough

again, how much are you looking to spend? also while a 1050 ti is considered low-medium, it will still play all games that i know of at high-ultra settings at 60fps, but the 1060 is considered the begging of a non "budget" build
