So I am building myself this PC that I'll put together on PcPartPicker, and I just can't justify getting something that's this expensive without getting some feedback from more experienced individuals (you). I will be using this desktop for light gaming, and other every day tasks such as schoolwork and browsing the web. By light gaming, I mean that I'll be playing GTAV or Garry's Mod every so often. I am not a stickler about having the highest settings possible, I''ll definitely settle for low-high. I need it to be upgradeable for a quite while (that's why I went with the much more expensive INTEL rather than AMD).
Please do not hesitate to be brutally honest. I don't care if you really want to slap me in the face by rebuilding the entire thing. 😀
Here's the build:

Thanks!

the power supply max amp load is 24a or 408v.
the 12v rail is also all the fans and hard drives in the rig. also under gaming loads the hotter a power supply gets the less output from the power supply caps and the shorting the life of the unit. also with any unit the caps and parts used laso make a better unit. with a larger wattage unit there overhead when the unit under load.

build was not bad...the newer skylake cpu dont have coolers now in the retail box. the power supply was under sized. the gpu the 950 for the money is almost 2x as fast as the 750 is for gaming. when you look at gpu you have to look see how many cores the card has and the gpu chip used. the cuda cores for the 750ti are
the 750 uses gm107 core with 640 cuda cores the newer cards use the newer gm204 core

the 950/960 for a little more money your getting a better gaming card.
 


My only question is why my power supply was undersized. My build is 210W, and the PSU is 430.
 


Also, should I get the Intel Core i5 6500 or the i5 6600
