Kkensa, by all means, purchase an i7 or a fast Xeon E3 processor if you want to fit it into the budget. They're great processors. But Samer1970 really does not know what he's talking about, and if you're interested in understanding bottlenecking a GPU with your CPU, check out this very helpful...

http://pcpartpicker.com/list/9mKL2R You could definitely go a little cheaper if you wanna save ~$60 and go with an older intel platform, and you could also go more expensive with a more interesting case than that one. This will definitely last more than 2 years, that i5 can be overclocked and...

They need to do this with the full-on USB Type-C for all the upcoming external GPU docks!

The 650ti is more efficient and is a more capable card for workload applications, but performs slightly worse than a 560ti overall in gaming. Why are you even bothering with these cards anyway? A 770 can be picked up for about $100-120 on eBay

The GTX 1060 is better than the RX 480 if the price is the same: http://www.gamersnexus.net/hwreviews/2518-nvidia-gtx-1060-review-and-benchmark-vs-rx-480/page-7 Although the RX 480 performs better than the GTX 1060 in Vulkan API games (like Doom)

Here is my suggestion, which is a completely different build than what you did. It uses the same case, but you get 1TB of SSD storage, I swapped out your i7-6700k for a Xeon e3 @ 3.5Ghz, and swapped out your GTX 1070 for a GTX 1080. With the extra GPU horsepower, I suggest getting a 4k monitor...

Your link isn't working, but I found your part list on your profile. You're buying too many case fans. That case already comes with 3, and your h100i is going to occupy where 2 of the other fans would go. So you only have room for 3 more, and even still, it's overkill in my opinion. Also, if...

You're not really going to notice a difference between the two, I'd only suggest spending more on an i5-4XXX if it's the 4690k. What PSU are you looking at?
