Hello all,
Thanks to the users who have helped me determine a selling price for my current AMD system, I have put together a parts list of an Intel Skylake system that I would like to get once I sell my current system. My budget is $1K, give or take.
Below is the system that I was going to put together to put my AMD machine to shame. I am aware that the i3 6320 is lower end. I will upgrade to probably an i5 6500 or 6600k within a few months after I stash away some more money.

I want to stay team red for my GPU because I currently have a FreeSync monitor.
I'm open to suggestions about this build, but please don't increase the price by more than $50.
I should probably mention my plans for cooling... I plan on replacing the dumb fans in the chassis with the BitFenix ones so I can get all three on RPM control since the MOBO only has one PWM header other than the CPU. I intend to mount the GPU rad to the rear and the three fans in the remaining mounts (one on top, two on the front). Also, I intend to get a Hyper 212 Evo from Cooler Master when I do the CPU upgrade.
I do have a question about the cooler for the i3 6320 though... Does it stand up or does it blow down towards the socket?
Thanks to everybody for their help.
