    Looking for computer build advice

    This is my current set up:

    Gigabyte Micro ATX MOBO
    EVGA 500W Power Supply
    GeForce GTX 960
    AMD FX-6300
    8GB RAM
    1TB HHD
    120GB SSD

    I want to get better FPS when playing certain games. I was told that my main bottleneck may be my CPU, but I'm not positive on that. I'm thinking about ordering these 3 parts. Anyone have any recommendations for around the same price, or any other tips for it?

    Intel Core i7-6700K Skylake Quad-Core 4.0 GHz LGA 1151 91W BX80662I76700K Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 530 - Newegg.ca

    MSI B150M Mortar LGA 1151 Intel B150 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard - Newegg.ca

    Kingston 8GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 Desktop Memory Model KVR1333D3N9/8G - Newegg.ca

    You'll only need one motherboard. Also your ram is probably DDR3 you'd have to replace it with some DDR4.

    no idea on the b150m overclocking (which i think you're going to do since you bought a K), but you should be good, ram speeds don't really matter for gaming if thats what you were looking at though

    DDR4 is required for that chipset

    Accidentally posted the same link twice instead of one of the other products. I updated it shortly after your post.

    No idea how to overclock, but was suggested this processor and it's $100 off so decided to go with it.

    Just went ahead and ordered this instead of the one in the OP. Thanks Syph.

    B150 Chipset motherboards don't support CPU overclocking, also any ram that you put in them will be clocked down to 2133mhz, if you want a premium motherboard that support overclocking and higher RAM frequencies, then go for a Z170 Chipset.

    As for the i5 6600, why pay 30 dollars more for no noticeable performance increase.

    get a i5 6500 instead and youll save some money that you can use for a graphics card upgrade at some point in the future.

    I also feel like you've gone for quite expensive components, especially considering you live in the US it shouldnt be hard to find good deals on the components your getting.

    For example, this motherboard seems a little more interesting to me: GIGABYTE GA-H170M-D3H (rev. 1.0) LGA 1151 Intel H170 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard - Newegg.com

    Higher chipset, better heatsinks, cheaper price, M2 slot... your basically getting more for less.
