Hey guys,
So I have been trying to get a custom PC for a while now. As it stands I am really close to being able to fund it.

I mostly play games like CS:GO and Call of Duty and was wondering if this build would be sufficient for 1080p gaming (At least 150+ CS:GO) and (Around 100fps for BO3). However, I enjoy making motion graphics (anything under 6 hours for a 10-second intro would be an improvement)

Is the link to my parts

I was also wondering if the parts would be compatible with each other.\

Cheers Abide :smile:

overpriced to **** and terrible choices.

Why Haswell i5 when Skylake i5's are cheaper & faster?

Also the mobo & CPU are not compatable u have a skylake mobo.

Okay, first of all, you'll need RAM. So, that system wouldn't even power on. Not only that, but the motherboard and CPU are incompatible. Even if you got a 6600k and H110 chipset motherboard, or 4690k and H81 chipset motherboard, it'd make no sense to have an unlocked CPU on a cheap crap chipset that doesn't even support overclocking. The motherboard is ridiculously over-priced anyway.

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

CPU: Intel Core i5-6500 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor ($272.00 @ Centre Com)
CPU Cooler: CRYORIG M9i 48.4 CFM CPU Cooler ($35.00 @ PCCaseGear)
Motherboard: MSI B150M BAZOOKA Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard ($114.40 @ Skycomp Technology)
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory ($59.00 @ CPL Online)
Storage: A-Data Premier SP550 480GB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($160.60 @ Skycomp Technology)
Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 6GB WINDFORCE OC 6G Video Card ($409.00 @ Umart)
Case: Phanteks ECLIPSE P400S ATX Mid Tower Case ($109.00 @ PCCaseGear)
Power Supply: Cooler Master 450W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply ($99.00 @ CPL Online)
Total: $1258.00

That's about the same price, but significantly better and actually includes RAM. If you want to overclock, get an i5-6600k and Z170 chipset motherboard. If you need to get it a little cheaper, get a 240-256GB SSD instead of the 480GB. Add an HDD when you have some more money.

Wow! Thanks so much!
I LOVE the case and the fact that it is cheaper!
Will the RAM work with it:

I was hoping to put 32 GB of ram in it

Roughly how many FPS will i get on GTA, Doom, Csgo, Skyrim etc?

Do I need a sound card or does the MOBO already have one?

Didn't get any notifications for these for some reason. Yes, you can use that Corsair RAM instead. As long as it's DDR4 RAM, you're fine, which that Corsair RAM is. However, 32GB RAM is totally unnecessary. 16GB is more than enough. FPS depends on what resolution, and settings you're playing at. An i5/GTX 1060 system will be able to max out 1080p easily though, and you'll be able to play 2560x1080 easily if you wanted. You could even hop on to 1440p with the GTX 1060, but you'll be playing at lower settings, as in high, instead of maxed out/almost maxed out. No, you do not need a sound card, they're a waste of money.
