I want the EVGA gtx 1060 3gb with an i5 CPU and either b250 or z270 mobo. As far as case\tower no idea or what hard drive for better performance. If i need after market cooling i prefer not. As far as os window 10 usb i heard about? And do components come with all the wiring needed. And thermal paste? PSU no idea. I want to plug and play but I'm on a budget of 750.00 USD (not including peripherals ).

Any help much appreciated. Thanks.

Current setup is Asus g74s from 2011

Games: Csgo, lol, rocket league, pubg, fortnite, StarCraft 2, etc.
