I would have also suggested PotterH, not sure if grim 101 would buy from him though.

The GPU is making my choice hard.
I will update you guys with my choice as soon as I have the insurance money....hehehehe
Thanks so far....
Ponder... your setup is great but I want the 7th generation as I keep my pc for 5 years plus.
Jonthan... your setup is spot on what I want and its assembled. Any cpu cooler?

Exactly how is that going to make a difference, if anything the i7 build will outlast the i5 kabylake build by a long shot. Performance wise there is not much between sky & kaby. To pick an i5 over an i7 makes no sense to me, at the end of the day it's your money & choice though.

I got http://www.wootware.co.za/raijintek-aidos-black-edition-92mm-pwm-fan-cpu-cooler.html for my i7-4790, haven't gone above 60C at max load (EDIT: I can't overclock though). It's also quite quiet, the case fan is louder than it. It's a huge cooler though.
Just be careful as it comes with the thermal compound already on it, no need to apply onto the CPU. Of course you're asking wootware to do it for you, so there shouldn't be any problems.
@Ponder the i5-7600K is better at gaming than the 6700 though? Depends on use-case.

No. New games these days are even more demanding benefitting from more cores/threads. I'm trying to sell my i5 to get an i7 at the moment.

There are plenty more benchmarks out there one can look at.

Like Ponder says the i7 6700/7700k is the gaming king. The Kaby Lake series does overclock very well but because you won't be overclocking the i7 would be much better than an i5.
He has an online store as well http://www.mineaway.co.za/index.php?route=product/category&path=94_96_105
I am converted...If I can still get that processor for R3000 end of the week *thinking*Yes you can.
https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/B250M-BAZOOKA.html#support-cpu click on "compatibility" and "cpu".
I think I have PotterHs number here somewhere (will look) if you wanna whatsapp him but that thread was updated yesterday so he probably has stock.

This GPU has the name I know and the price is a few bob more.

Lower performance for more money. If you don't like the Galax get the Zotac with 3yr warranty.
470 is comparable to a 3GB 1060 which not only has less vram than the 6gb model but also less shaders.
Get the 6GB Zotac AMP, it's a really good GPU and a quality product. It also has 0rpm fan silent operation which the galax does not have and you get a 3yr warranty which is the same as higher 'perceived' brands for peace of mind.

This one? If so that will be my choice. Now just waiting to hear from that I7-6700
Here is my newest choice and then adding the I7-6700.
