PC for these relatively light usages can be easily accomplished at just under $850.

Skylake CPU out doesn't mean he has to go for it, given how close its 3 yo predecessor perform. And prices are still rather steep. Your Core i3 combo cost as much as Haswell Core i5 combo...

Oh, I forgot to mention that I still have a lot of Steam games that I've yet to touch. Notable ones are Call of Duty, Assassin's Creed etc.

Am I being too optimistic if I would want a Z170 motherboard, GPU of GTX 970, 16GB of RAM and 500GB of SSD?

it can be done. but you need to source for some parts from lazada with discounts amazon when there is black friday sales etc.

if you get all from one shop, likely will cross 1500
