Intel i5 4590
MSI H97M-G43
CM K380
Crucial 8gb Ram
Corsair CX430M PSU
Palit GTX 960 2GB Superstream
Samsung Evo 850 250GB
Hitachi 1TB HDD
Windows 10 64-Bit
LG DVD RW Drive

Gonna make the above build, but should I go for H170 with i5-6400 with DDR4 ram? THis will be a gaming pc, not sure if the 6th gen & ddr4 will make any real-life difference for gaming pc. Thanks for the input!

H170 route. The next time u wanna upgrade the comp, can re-use the DDR4 RAMs instead of buying new ones.
