So I'm saving my money for a gaming PC that will have good performance and be able to play future games for the next couple of years not needing many upgrades, I have a good build in mind and I was wondering what your opinions on it are. I am planning on OCing the CPU, GPU, and Monitor

I am going to buy the parts on ebay which adds up to about 925, im hoping that when i buy it around xmas, they will be down to around 850. Thanks for you guys' feedback in advance 😀
 
Solution
I'm not familiar with US prices but taking off the cooler and running a cheaper mobo I would expect the difference in price to be minimal. A 6300 in modern cpu intensive games will hold back a 970 even with a strong OC


Its only $10 cheaper and it's a bronze as well, so I think i'll stick with my Evga, but thanks for the advice!
 


On pcpartpicker --> Click Edit part list, then click the [bb]. Copy and paste that to your post
 


I looked at that but even an older i5 on ebay would be over $50 more and a new one almost $100 or more, when the cooler is 15 i dont think it would be worth it.
 


Ok, i'll see if i can find a cheap upgrade
Edit: After looking at it, if a 6600k and ASRock Z170 Pro4 drop in price enough by the time im buying, if it doesnt make it $50 more expensive, then ill buy it.
