I'm looking to build a gaming PC that can run games like Fallout 4 and Battlefield 4 in 1080p 60fps on at least medium settings. Problem is I've been a console player until now, so I don't know that much about computer parts. I've started considering a few parts, but having a hard time making choices. I'd appreciate some help! Here are a few obstacles I've encountered:
I'm not sure if I should get the Intel i5-6600K over the i5-6600. Can anyone tell me if the 6600K is worth the extra money?
Will the GTX 770 be enough for what I want, or will I have to get the GTX 970? Or maybe I should get the GTX 960? I think I'd prefer the GTX 770 over the 960, but I'm not certain.
Is there a motherboard that will better suit me than the Asus Z170 Pro Gaming? I've seen it has pretty good reviews, but I'd like to compare it to a cheaper motherboard that might be able to do what I want, and I don't know where to find that (if it exists).
Other than that, I haven't looked at all the parts yet. I'll be using the Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD card, and the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO CPU cooler. But if anyone has a recommendation for better options to these, do tell.
Final question- I currently have the (quite old) R4 Bulldozer computer case. I don't know if it can house all these newer parts, since it is pretty old. Will I need to get a new case? If so, which? I don't care so much about how sexy the case is, mostly just the cheapest one I can get that will do what I need. That means I'll be able to fit all these parts into it, and that it has room for a disc drive (I know they're not that necessary anymore, but I will be using it a bit).
Thanks In advance for any help!
UPDATE: I started researching about RAM. I'm not sure if I should get DDR4 or DDR3 RAM. From what I understand, the i5-6600K and the Asus Z170 Pro Gaming, which I'm probably going to get (not quite decided yet), support DDR4 RAM, so should I go with that? If so, should I get the Crucial Ballistix Sport DDR4 2400 (8GB), or is it better in the 4GBx2 version? Or should I get something else entirely? 8GB is enough, right?
