You can upgrade to Windows 10 if you're on Windows 7 or 8.1.But remember,if you want to upgrade to Windows 10,be sure to upgrade before late July,cause by then,it'll be 1 year after Windows 10 was released,so no more free upgrades to Windows 10 for 7 and 8.1 users. wink.gif

And max setting on 1600 x 900 right?

Seems pretty tight.

And do you want to play Dota 2 or are you preparing for Dota 2 Reborn that will be coming out sometime in the near future? If yes, you might need to spend more for the new game later.

I'd suggest dropping the SSD and get a beefier GPU,Zotac GTX960 Single Fan 2GB RM819. Overbudget but the slightly cheaper GTX950 isn't worth it.

Terence, is cpu cooler (cooler master hyper 212) necessary for this build

Intel Core i5 6500 - RM 875

time to flex my budget abit sweat.gif does skylake mobo supports DDR3 RAM? how much does the performance of skylake build vs haswell build differ in real life?
*
Yes, Skylake CPUs and some of its MoBos support DDR3 but it's a risk. Because you might burn the RAM thingy majiggy..can't remember the name of it. doh.gif Because DDR3 RAMs have higher voltage compared to DDR4.

And performance difference is tiny, but some people want the latest one. Personally, i'd still go with Haswell.

Yup, but it'll be very close. I'd suggest getting Seasonic S12II 620W 80+ Bronze RM299 or M12II Evo Fully Modular RM379 if you can.

I did consider the 6600k but then I'd need a 1151 motherboard. Does a 1151 mobo fully support DDR3 RAM? Will there be any drawbacks to the other hardware I've chosen by getting a 1151 mobo?

I have almost zero knowledge about building a gaming PC until the last past 12 hours or so of googling on building a gaming PC. So please advise..
*
Have you like bought the MoBo for Haswell or something? blink.gif Some Skylake MoBos support DDR3, but it's a risk running DDR3 RAM on Skylake.. sweat.gif Something about the RAM might catch on fire.

IMO, overclocking the CPU doesn't really improve CPU performance that much. What's your budget for the rig?
