Will my computer be able to run newer games?

[CatCatt]

I've been looking at building a new computer for gaming, however I'm on a budget. Below is the parts list.

PCPartPicker part list: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/ZnCMGX
Price breakdown by merchant: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/ZnCMGX/by_merchant/

CPU: Intel Core i3-6100 3.7GHz Dual-Core Processor
Motherboard: Asus SABERTOOTH Z170 S ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3000 Memory

I under stand that this question gets asked a lot, however I'll ask it none the less.

Will this build be able to handle newer games on the market? Games such as Witcher 3, Fallout 4, COD, Kingdom Come: Deliverance, Mass Effect (whenever it actually gets released), etc.?

This is TONS better. Don't buy overpriced mobos. Period. SSD and 16 GB and i5

This one's a tad bit more expensive but easily capable of playing all those games. Ryan's build is very good as well, the only thing I have any real issue with is the 16GB of ram and the bronze power supply. Either way good luck!

I disagree. It also seems like you do not understand at all. The older haswell is much less efficient and not as good a s skylake, so I completely disagree with haswell and a locked CPU on a Z baked like wtf man. Also the PSU I gave is bronze, but it seems lie you do not understand much about PSU quality. The XFX TS is a very good PSU. You don't lol at ratings for quality.

As of ram why is 16GB even an issue? The 16 is optimal for nowadays gaming. I only run 8 but will get 16 or 32 for my next build since I'm rendering and stuff.
That PSU lies lower quality than the XFX.

Haswell still gets better benchmarks than skylake, I chose it because as exciting as skylake is, it isn't quite there yet. The psu I picked has the advantage of gold and it is made by fractal design, a good psu company. I happen to have checked reviews on it and it is very popular. 16gb of ram is useless unless you are rendering or you have and absolutely godlike gaming rig. With either of our builds there is absolutely no way he will ever reach an 8gb cap.

While I would personally spend more, and get the i5 6500, it isn't vastly superior to the 6400. A GTX 970 is a good deal better, than a GTX 960/R9 380.

You still don't understand do you. Rating doesn't matter as much as quality. Popular doesn't mean quality. And +1 for. Loganofhades post. If you can afford it, go for it. The 6400 is only 3% slower than the 6500. If you can add the money for the 970, go for it. It is superior to the 960/380

With regards to PSU comments, I suggest that you look at the tier listings. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

Efficiency rating does not equal quality. You can get gold rated Raidmax units, but nobody that actually knows anything, about PSU's, would actually use one.
