Hello Everyone. I am in the process of building a new gaming PC that can run a bunch of different games and that will last a while. What are your thoughts on this build on CyberPowerPC? I attached the overview on PCPart picker as well. Thanks!

Solution
I agree with cCheeseCake.

Get an i5-6600k, which has the exact same amount of cores, but with half the amount of threads. You won't be losing out on much though, as there is still 1 thread per core (4 cores - 4 threads).
If you don't plan on overclocking, as you said next to 'Overclock', then you could even opt for the i5-6500 (which is roughly $200 cheaper than an i7-6700k).

You could probably also save some money on a lower wattage power supply, I would say a 500W is right for this build, as there is not much power needed for the newer GPU's nowadays.

If you don't plan on using a Wi-Fi network to connect your PC to, I would say ditch the Wireless Network Card.

Hope all goes well and you enjoy your PC.

CPU cooler is thoroughly mediocre. If you do plan on overclocking, you can more than likely pick up a good air cooler for the same money that will perform better. Will agree on downgrading the CPU to fit in a better GPU
