Questions I have to anyone who knows anything about computers

1. Is this a good build to run AAA games with at least high settings at 50-60FPS (from your experience/expertise)
2. Would it be best to just buy the i3-6100 3.7GHz instead of the i3-6300?
3. Is that Video Card good enough with my i3-6300? As in will 4GB VRAM actually run good with it?
4. I know the PSU is a 80+ Bronze, but will it work well with my current build?
5. As you can see I am buying a BitFenix mid tower. Would everything fit inside this Mid Tower?
6. You see the OS key I am buying from Kinguin. Does anyone have any experiance with them and is it worth the risk? I heard that if I add the safety thing when buying they will give me a key they bought themselves instead of one that might mess up.
7. Is this even everything I need to get it up, running, and playing games?

It looks pretty good. I would wait to see the pricing of a Core i3-7350K as release is expected to be very soon and is unlocked. Pair that with a Z170 or Z270 MB and be able to overclock. A Z170 board will need a BIOS update. Just make sure it is one which supports a CPU-less and RAM-less BIOS update via USB Flash Drive. In the short term a Z170 board will be cheaper.

An i3-6100 with a Radeon Rx 470 4GB will perform better for the most part. Rather than an i3-6300 with a GTX 1050 Ti. As an i3-6100 to i3-6300 is a small upgrade. A GTX 1050 Ti to Rx 470 is a big upgrade.

At the price of that cheapo 1600x900 screen. I would urge you to consider a used monitor. You could probably get a much higher quality 1920x1080 or 1920x1200 panel at...

Here is one where the casing is scuffed but the screen is in good condition. IPS and 110% Adobe sRGB. If you can live with a scuffed case you will get a vastly superior panel.

Buy from a good seller on Kinguin. A good one will provide you with an OEM key. Perhaps do Windows 7 or 8 Pro then perform the free Windows 10 upgrade. Using the Assistive Technologies upgrade path.

I am strictly at a $720 max amount to use. I already ordered the monitor, case, mouse and keyboard plus the headset. Also I will upgrade sooner or later (most likely Christmas or my birthday which is in 10 days) if I get enough money. For now since you said this was good, I will run with this.
