New Gaming Desktop on a budget

Get this with Windows 10, a 4GB GTX 960 and maybe the Fractal Design Define R5 (if it's not too much more).

Lose the CPU cooler and get a Corsair CX600M instead of the 750W PSU if you need to save money to afford the 4GB graphics card or anything else. You don't need the cooler unless you're going to overclock. In the Fractal cases the CPU will be fine at stock speeds with the stock cooler. 600W will be fine for one 960, in fact a CX500M would do it with no problems and save you money.

That 750W EVGA only $45 after MIR, that's why choosing it. I don't think Corsair CX any better.
You could consider cheap CX500M if not upgrade higher end GPU in future.

You can't lose the cooler as i5-6600K don't come with one.

Does it not come with one anymore? If so I didn't know that, thanks for letting me know.

The CX might be cheaper even without rebates.

and do i really really wANT 10?
 
What that board can take is a Samsung 950 Pro M.2 (technically 2 if you wanted, and most likely a RAID option too! ) Referring to the Gigabyte board!!
 
ok so im ready to order the parts. if i buy em all from all thelowest priced places it will cost me $900.00 if i buy from newegg $996. which is horrible are all those other sites legit? just use to dealing with newegg
 
If you are still only getting the gtx960, you don't need that much wattage. Just get the 500 watt evga unit. To me its a pain buying from multiple places especially if you have to rma parts because they don't work.
