How does it perform? I need more efficiency at work and I'm thinking of buying a similar PC next month and I wonder if I'll be able to play some games on it as well. This is what I plan to buy:

CPU: i3 6100
RAM: 8 GB DDR4 3200 Mhz
GPU: Saphire Radeon R9 380 Nitro (maybe 380X)
ASRock Z170 montherboard
SSD: Samsung 250 GB
HDD: 1TG 7200
PSU: BeQuiet 530W
Case: SilentiumPC Gladius M45W Pure Black
A 21:9 LG monitor

I want it to be cheap, help me with work (thus the 21:9 monitor), but also be able to play Starcraft 2 and some other games, obviously I don't need ultra on all settings

Well, I haven't played any super demanding games on it like Witcher 3, but almost everything I've tried it has handled with at least 900p/30fps/ultra settings or 1080p/30fps/high settings. I think the most demanding thing I've played so far was the demo for Dying Light, it ran it at 900p/high settings/30+ FPS.  Quite a few older and indie games it has managed at 1080p/60fps/ultra settings. Your planned build is a bit better than mine, so it should handle stuff like Starcraft 2 just fine. Even the most demanding games it should be able to handle at medium-high settings I'd guess.

Awesome, that's exactly what I need from this PC Especially SC2, though I think that a Skylake i3 would run it even on its iGPU alone

I think the faster CPU, RAM and GPU (w/ 4GB RAM) will only translate into a handful of fps more than in your build, but I hope it'll be enough to run Wither 3, even on medium.
