So I am planing to build new computer (this will be my first costum build computer) and I really don`t know much about computers so I want your opinion on this CPU: Intel Core i5 6600K Skylake BOX 3.5 GHz - 3.9 GHz turbo.
Also I want to know your suggestions about other parts which will fit with this cpu. If you can then list your ideas and please without idiotic replys.

Thanks in advance.

What's your budget?

I don't really know. Not so expensive. Under 1000€ for sure

CPU: Intel Core i5 6600K

CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z170-HD3 ATX LGA1151 Motherboard (or go with a non-z170 motherboard if you're not planning on overclocking your CPU)

Ram: HyperX Fury Black (2x4) 8GB DDR4-2133MHz

Storage: A-Data Premier SP550 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive, Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

GPU: Gigabyte GTX 1060 6GB Windforce OC

PSU: EVGA 500W PSU

Case: Corsair SPEC-02

Total: €942.48

you can probably save some money by going with a non-Z170 motherboard like I said (keep in mind that if you change it, you might have to change the ram to DDR3 depending on what the motherboard supports).

I've personally installed this very same CPU in a friend's computer and it works fairly well for gaming.

Oh, and if you're into video editing and/or rendering besides gaming, I suggest you go the extra mile and get the i7-6700 instead. That is where you'll notice the actual difference, really.
