[Connor99z]

Hi, i currently have put this rig together, and will be buying it soon, my budget was £800 so it has gone over a little but thats fine, i want to know how well this setup will run games such as Rust? Arma 3? H1Z1? if anyone can give me a rough idea that would be great!

Would this system be able to run Arma 3 Battle royale well etc...

Arma3 needs fast single core performance, and i5 6600 is just a bit more expensive. Also, some games benefit from faster memory bandwidth- you should get memory in 2x4GB or 2x8GB configuration.

Does this look better?

You can get i5 6600 (non K), it will be cheaper. K-series processors are for overclocking, they cost more and require different motherboards.
Also, you left old 1x 8GB RAM in the list
Edit: just noticed- you are buying a CPU cooler. It is not really needed, box cooler is sufficient- although it is not silent

yeah. You really don't need a K series. Specially i assume you are new to overclock scenario. (case in point my 3.5 year old ci5-4340 runs pretty much well untill now). Other than that, i expect this rig would last u at-least 3-4 years unless games get crazy gpu demading
