you cant, i3 6100 is not overclockable, only the K cpu are

i3 6100 comes with cooler already, even if it can overclock that cooler is worse than the stock cooler

 

g4560 is a better value

dont get ddr3

 

thats a really expensive psu that isn't even good

 

only 128GB isn't enough for gaming and windows

this should be the best system with that budget. also you can increase a bit for ryzen 5 1400 & add cooler but stock cooler is okay for slight overclocking.

Do a 2 sticks of 4gb for 8gb ram. I find better performance in games with 2 sticks. And dont buy a 1060ti get a 1050ti and overclock the 1060 is too much $ right now.

Get an old Xeon. You can find a decent board for about $60, a 6c/12t CPU for $50-$60, a 4c/8t one even cheaper, and then the RAM is pretty cheap as well. Grab an LGA1366 cooler, UDB 3.0 card if your mobo is an old server one, and you should be good. They can OC as well, especially if you get an X58 board. 

 

Just ask the Xeon Lord, @WhisperingKnickers, or @CUDA_Cores
