For a workstation build the i5 6500 just wont cut it, you need a i7 6700k or go X99

Being in Ney York, if a Microcenter is close to you...be sure to check it out. They have great mobo/cpu combos, easy exchange policy if you have issues, and sometime the open-box deals can rock. I actually just finished putting together a present for someone over the last six weeks via open-box hunting, and came up with this:

CPU: Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor ($179.97)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler ($24.96)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z97X-SLI ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($17.96)
Memory: Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-2400 Memory ($50.96)
Storage: Crucial BX200 240GB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($64.99)
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($49.99)
Video Card: XFX Radeon R9 390 8GB Double Dissipation Video Card (2-Way CrossFire) ($268.98)
Video Card: XFX Radeon R9 390 8GB Double Dissipation Video Card (2-Way CrossFire) ($274.98)
Case: Corsair 200R ATX Mid Tower Case ($49.97)
Power Supply: Corsair RM 1000W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply ($99.96)
Wireless Network Adapter: Gigabyte GC-WB867D-I 802.11a/b/g/n/ac PCI-Express x1 Wi-Fi Adapter ($24.96)
Other: Tax ($55.11)
Total: $1162.79

After rebates and all, the deal-hunting there can really be worth it.

But the uses listed are not workstation uses. That's an office/gaming and gaming will decide hardware since office is nothing.
