Would like to get a second opinion before I place my order. What do you guys think?
any advice or alterations are much appreciated.

Case - Carbide 200R Compact ATX Case - £55.99

Motherboard - Z170-Gaming K3 Intel Z170 - £95.99

Processor - Core i5-6600K 3.9GHz (Skylake) Socket LGA1151 Processor - £205.99

Power supply - EVGA Supernova GS 650W '80 Plus Gold' Modular Power - £64.99

Memory - Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-25600C16 3200MHz Dual Channel Kit - £65.99

Graphics Card - Secondhand GTX 970 GPU seen some go online for - £150

CPU cooler - Cooler Master Hyper 212X CPU Cooler - £29.99
FYI: overclockers haven't put socket LGA1151 compatibility in the listing but I have checked on the cooler master site and can confirm this model is compatible with socket LGA1151.

Total = £668.94

I have my own samsung evo 850 ssd but also thinking of getting an m.2 128gb ssd for OS

Plans for this pc: gaming, photoshop, very light 3ds max use (not rendering just modelling), No future plans for SLI.

My monitor is a Dell u2414h
Mouse is Logitech G502
keyboard is Logitech G15

Am i Missing anything in this build?

I have managed to cut the cost by getting cpu/mobo combo, as well ash canging the case, and ram. I would suggest waiting for the rx480 to come out, and see what happens then. It will either cause the used prices to drop, or will be the better value option

Case is good enough and you won't need more than 550w. You won't notice the difference in RAM speed in real world applications and the cooler is well regarded for its size and price.

Link your forum account for free shipping if you haven't already

Fantastic thanks guys.

at this budget i hate to say it but an amd build might be better

Isn't everyone better off holding off until the new nVidia/AMD cards are out? My understanding they're all game changers for their respective price points, which in this case will be the new AMD card.
