PC gaming build opinions

[AH_Spacy]

Hello I have made a PC gaming build and I have all ready purchases the GPU, I just wanted to see if anyone had any input on my build. Also if someone could tell me tat all of these parts work to gather that would be great to. I would love some suggestions, and if someone could double check compatibility. I made this to play some games like ARK, No mans sky, and some other decently demanding tiles 1080P 60 fps and maybe a little streaming. Also I am not going to get an ssd, I might later but not now, and I am not buying windows ten from kinguin, I forgot to take that out.
Thanks

You can do much better in the same price range. Loose the CPU cooler and the B150 motherboard and upgrade to a i5 6500 and H170 board. The video card you listed is not even in stock change that to a GTX 970 (in stock ready to go) tit for tat with the RX 480 performance wise.
That board don't support over 2133 memory.
Video card.

Zerk, the Op mention that he already bought the gpu....

If he already has it then fine but why recommend a Z170 board when he can upgrade to a i5 processor?????
Still the same build with better performance than the i3.

I was gonna get the ASRock B150 GAMING K4/HYPER ATX LGA1151 Motherboard because it has an external clock generator that allows you to baseclock overclock, therefore it enables you to overclock a non-k intel chip, also with a $30 mail in rebate

 

[AH_Spacy]

Also gaming wise the i3 6100 does not preform that much better worse than a i5 6500, sometimes even better. I dont want to pay an extra 90 dollars for the ocasional 2-3 frames. And I got a higher speed ram because if I were to base overclock I would also overclcok the ram therefore I have to have faster ram to baseoverclock, also it does not matter because ram will automatically run at the native speed of the mother board if it is slower.

 

[AH_Spacy]

Good idea, but the z170 also has that feature.

That is not true, the Z170 boards used to allow you to overlock, but it was removed with a bios update, you can use the outdated bois but Intel is going to block base overclocking on the Z170 with a sneaky update

For $40 more you could get an i5 with the same mobo and do your overclock.

Its $60 more but I am not sure how much it will actually help, I have seen many side by side comparisons of the i3 6100 and the i5 6500 and they are practically tied, I am not sure how much this will help my performance because it is also slower, I know it is quad core but I am not sure if I really need quad core for the price.

But honestly just go with the i3 now and upgrade later. You'll be fine for awhile.

Will the i3 overclocked to 4.1 bottleneck the RX 480

No not at all

Thanks
