Build Help/Ready:

Have you read the sidebar and rules? (Please do)

Yes, I have.

What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better.

It's supposed to be a Gaming-PC for games such as:

  • Overwatch

  • Fallout 4

  • Diablo 3

  • Starcraft 2

If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, FPS, game settings)

I have two 1920 × 1080 monitors I want to use and I want 60 FPS on high settings. I often have a stream or a youtube video playing on the other screen and I want to still be able to play the games despite that.

What is your budget (ballpark is okay)?

I have a budget of about 1000€ - 1200€

In what country are you purchasing your parts?

Germany

Post a draft of your potential build here (specific parts please). Consider formatting your parts list. Don't ask to be spoonfed a build (read the rules!).

Provide any additional details you wish below.

Something I am unsure about is the CPU. For now I plan on getting the i7-6700K as seen in the table, but I was wondering if I really need it. This will be primarily a Gaming PC and so far as I know, those mostly tax the GPU. Would I be bottlenecking anything if I use an i5 6600K instead?

Thank you very much for any tips you can give me.
