Hi, I am planning on building a PC with the following specifications. I am open to any suggestion/feedback/recommendation. It should be noted that I'm aiming at having a reliable, decent, not too powerful system that would be able to play most demanding titles at 1080 for about three years. I don't do OC'ing, and don't really insist on playing in higher resolutions than 1080. Future upgrades would be out of the window for about three years because I'm getting married and probably won't have the budget to upgrade a part or two anytime soon... my budget is about 1000-1100$. Any less expensive alternative to any of these parts with equal or better performance would be much welcomed! Let me know what you think guys.

BTW, RX 480 8GB is a must-have for me
 
You could save $40.00 by switching to the i5 6500. You won't notice the difference. Don't know the price of the PSU or if you have it already, but your system would work nicely with a 450 watt or larger PSU. You could use something like the new Corsair CX450M and save a few dollars there, also. I'm guessing you have a Free Sync monitor, but the GTX 1060 is cheaper, too.
 




unfortunately in Iran where I'm living, the GTX 1060 has not yet hit the market and most of the retailers here only have the reference R9 380, 390, GTX 970, 960, 950 cards! there is only one shop that has recently put RX480 Sapphire 8GB for sale. The choices are extremely limited here. 950/60/70 are too old, and 480 seems like the logical choice...no I don't have a Free Sync monitor, but will buy one separately I hope. Plus, the option of buying a second-hand workstation is not available here
