Buying some new pieces and I would really appreciate any suggestions. The pieces below are the only parts I need as I already have everything else (except a CPU fan, will I need a third party one?). All in all I would like to stay around or preferably under £1k.

Looking to pick these up tomorrow afternoon, ish, so if anyone has any thoughts I would greatly appreciate them before then :)

Thanks folks

Intel Core i5-6600K 3.9GHz (Skylake)
MSI GeForce GTX 980Ti Gaming 6144MB GDDR5
MSI Z170A Gaming Pro Intel Z170 (Socket 1151) DDR4 ATX Motherboard
Seasonic G series 750w '80 Plus Gold' Modular Power Supply
Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB (2x4GB) DDR4 PC4-24000C15 3000MHz Dual Channel Kit
 
Thanks for the suggestions. I did see the bundle but noticed it never came with a cooler, I thought that was just how the bundle was sold so I disregarded it... although from what you've said though I'd need a cooler regarldess so I've picked up the bundle again and I've added a cooler. I've dropped the PSU also and I'll grab one of those SuperFlower ones on offer (although 650w, after consideration don't think I'll ever need 750w for single card gaming). Knocked around £80 off the price also which is awesome :)

Had to change the RAM to the red colour variant as the black is out of stock and the cooler is an Alpenföhn Matterhorn which I've used before and I love it. Just concerned on there being enough distance for the cooler to fit with the clearing above the RAM. Although since it's not high profile RAM it should be OK.

Thanks stulid!
 
That cooler does fit (but get the black version?) as the RAM is most certainly low profile.

But does it fit in your case and you are still able to get the side panel back on.
 
Aye, there is quite a bit of clearing in the case I have so it'll be fine for getting the side on. Thanks for the clarification on the RAM! Was concerned that there wouldn't be enough space between the bottom of the cooler and the top of the RAM. I went for the white cooler as I have a white Phanteks case and it matches quite well :)

Thanks again!
