I've been planning on building a new PC for a while, wanting to base it off the 6600K. The Asus z170 pro-gaming had caught my eye for a while, seems to be a good paring for the 6600k.
I already have a case and peripherals.
Mobo - Asus z170 pro gaming
Memory - TeamGroup Dark Pro 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-24000C15 3000MHz
CPU - 6600K

SSD - Sandisk Extreme Pro 480GB (sadly not available on ocuk)
I really like the long warranty on this, and have been very impressed with Sandisk products in the past.
I have an ageing ati 4870 that I can stick in this build until the 970 comes down a little in price. No OS required.
PSU is still in the air on which one to get. I am not going to be using dual-gpu, so won't be too power hungry.
CPU cooler - undecided, the case has plenty of room.
So, does anybody have an comments on the cpu/motherboard/memory combo, and any suggestions for the psu/cpu cooler?
