Hi everyone, been a console gamer since the NES era and now switching to PC gaming. My situation is a bit complex. I am currently studying in Japan however I live in Southeast Asia. With that said, the case and the monitor is fixed. However, the rest Ill be buying them in Japan. Here is my prospective build http://pcpartpicker.com/p/ynZ699. I want to build a gaming PC under 1000 US dollars including the monitor which I have said before is fixed since Ill be buying the case and the monitor in Southeast Asia. I have chosen skylake because I have way too many GameCube,PS2 and Wii games lying around and I still play them sometimes on the consoles but it would be nice to play it at 1080p 60FPS. I don't really care about twitch or 1440p, I just love playing single player games like AC or borderlands at 1080p. So basically all I'm looking for here is to able to run emulators smoothly and play third person action games at 1080p 60FPS with no hiccups. Very new to PC gaming so really need advice particularly on whether or not I should go with the OC option for i5 6600k if OC is not necessary then Ill just go with i5 6600 but spend more on the GPU upgrading to r9 380x? However, I will still need the CPU fan I guess since it is very hot in Southeast Asia. I would love to play Mario Galaxy smoothly at 1080p. From reading the forum some say OC is necessary while others say its not so Im not really sure.
