Looking to get a good gaming pc

[Kyle Nelson]

I am reusing a mid tower thermal intake case, along with a thermal take smart series M 850W power supply that has sat dormat for 2 years, and probably in use for about 1.5 year.
Reusing velociraptor WD1500HLFS HD, with the thought of getting a SSD as the main OS and workhorse HD for performance. I do have a Corsair water cooler, that could be reused but I am not too sure on how that will work. But so far I'm looking for a pc that is a decent upgrade over GTX760 (From my old pc before it died.) and my laptops Nividia GF GTX 765. And a CPU that is faster then i7 4700HQ. I'm wondering if its worth to get a i5 6600K CPU, if it means better ability for video editing, load times ect. but if its a waste of money then I won't bother. But I am just worried if the case or other things I mentioned that I want to transfer into the new rig will work with the newer pieces?

Oh yeah my budget is under 1000$.

check with the power supply vendor to see if the power supply is haswell aproved. if not you wont be able to use the low sleep states with your old unit. with haswell low voltage in sleep mode. it can cuase some power supply to turn off. if your not gaming on the pc then look at a xeon cpu and a 1151/1150 mb. for gpu in april the newer pascal from nvidia are launching. if you go with the newer skylake the mb will be around for a few years the older haswell mb are going end of life.
