This Youtuber played overwatch @1080p high settings with a dual core processor.

Think your CPU is still revalent, if you're only looking to play overwatch.

yup, it is... however it has been giving me problems since awhile ago..

i was using b75m-dgs previously and it died on me and this is now an second hand motherboard, i have been getting 4 beeps (should be ram faulty?) sometime ago too.

actually was thinking
i5 6500 asrock z170 pro4
corsair vengeance 16gb ddr4
gigabyte gtx 1060 g1 gaming 6gb
superflower leadex 550w gold

or a gigabyte b150m-d3h?

micro atx vs standard performance wise nothing much right? only lesser pcie slots
