As the title says. I'm looking to start buying the parts I need to build a computer. This is my first time building a PC, and I have some help I can get if I really need it. I'll mainly be using this for browsing the web and gaming. I
don't play many AAA games at all on PC. Mainly just MMO's such as blade and soul and vindictus just to name a few. Will this set up be sufficient for games like those to be played hopefully at 60fps?

Thanks, all help is appreciated!

Solution
drop the 950 video card..wait till the newer pascal come out and you have money for the 970 pascal replacement. as this is a gaming pc add little more on the power supply look at a good 650w unit. if this is your first build spend a little more on the case for a mid size atx case it be easer to work on a larger case. at some point you want a 256g ssd as the boot drive for speed.

Just out of curiosity. Why would you recommend the i3 6100?
