Hello everyone.
I wanna make a new PC, i already have these parts:
GIGABYTE B150M-HD3-DDR3
Intel i5-6402P (LGA1151)
CORSAIR Vengeance 2x4GB (8 total) DDR3
Is this system good so far ? It will be a gaming pc.
Your thoughts on what to add next? Graphic card , Power , etc...

Ddr3 is very old now. Build a new pc around ddr4

Without a budget, its difficult to make anything more than a broad generalization.
For gaming, I'd go with a Z or X series chipset, 16GB of RAM and as much video card as I could afford. In truth your MB and CPU will not likely be the limiting factor. Amount of emory and the GPU are going to play the biggest factors in over all performance.

Then i'll think i'll change my current MB with H110M-S2PV (H110/1151/DDR4) probably.

I cannot afford too much budget for extreme performance. I'll probably stay with this CPU and i will change the MB, RAM (16 DDR4 or 8 DDR4) and GPU 4GB or 2GB DDR3 .

As I said, memory and GPU will be the bottlenecks regarding performance. Fame rates and detail will drop as resolution increases. If you are only going to run at 1920x1080 you'll get decent performance. 16GBs ram and GForce 600 series or higher.

Thank you for your reply! I will search GPU and more RAM and i will reply here again :D

@Jesua
What country you from. If you are here in the USA see if you can get to a Micro Center. They do MB/CPU combos. If you buy both you will get a $30 discount. I just got a i5-7600K & GA-Z270XP-SLI for $315.

Will the MSI VGA GeForce GTX 1060 Armor OCV1 3GB will be compatible? SOrry for posting another graphic card ...

For about $15 US more you can get a faster card:

Now comes the EVGA vs. MSI dilemma :) :) Both cards share the same hardware. GPU, GDDR5 memory, and 192bit memory interface. Both have advanced coolers that do not spin unless needed. If you are a fan of Afterburner, and every dollar counts, go with the MSI. If you can spend a little more and enjoy EVGA Precision (like me) then grab the EVGA... which has higher base/boost clock speeds over the MSI. The cards will perform similarly and will run in either of the boards you are considering PCIe x16 3.0.

I've bought the one i mentioned above. Sorry for my late reply and thank you for your post :) I've completed my machine :D

Thanks for posting your follow up. Enjoy the card and your new machine. ;)
