You can remove the OS from your list.

At sites like KINGUIN or TWED, you can get Windows 10 CD keys for $10-$30 dollars, and downloading the ISO image to match the key is...free.

Except the processor is almost never going to be your bottleneck for games....

And as optimization for Zen becomes mainstream and if games ever utilize 6 cores, it will smash the 7600k out of the water with a sledgehammer and it isn't even gonna be close....

the I5 is walking ahead with gaming performance about 5-7% better in a world optimized for it's processor..... and it lags behind in almost every other category , as soon as you optimize the advantage is wiped clean, and once games are designed to use 6 cores, bye bye Intel

Smart man.... I'd say that the 1600 is more than enough but 8 cores and 16 threads is nice.

What are you overclocked to and what cooler
