skylake system advise

[Big red]

hi guys I was going to buy all my parts for a build but finances stopped it , but I have a bit of money now and the state of play is ,

I have a i5-6600k skylake cpu
asus h170 pro gamming board
Samsung 850 evo ssd.

I was thinking of the following other parts

coolmaster hyper 212 cpu cooler £29.99
crucial ballistics sport lt 16gb 2400nhz £79.99
asus geoforce gtx 960 turbo £154.99
1 tb Seagate 7200 sata hd £38.99.
Of coarse I need a case that will take the cpu cooler and the graphics card and also a psu to power it all any advise would be welcome as there is so much choice ,ps would like a case with room for a dvd player

The Alpenföhn is a better cooler than the hyper 212 and the radeaon 380 is slightly faster than the 960.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x BitFenix Shinobi USB3.0 Gaming Case - Black= £39.95
• 1 x Samsung SH-224FB/BEBE 24x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter (Black) - OEM M disc compatible= £14.99
• 1 x Seagate 1TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache HDD - OEM (ST1000DM003)= £38.99
• 1 x Alpenföhn Matterhorn Pure Edition CPU Cooler= £29.99
• 1 x Asus Radeon R9 380 DirectCU II Strix OC 4096MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card= £155.99
• 1 x Fractal Design Tesla R2 500W '80 Plus Gold' Power Supply= £49.99

Total: £342.20

thanks for replying Mickyflinn is the tesla psu powerful enough for the radeon iv never used this type before, also is the shinobi a good enough case ? I was looking at the phanteks enthoo pro m it is £69.99 but is it worth the extra cash ?

Yes the tesla is powerful enough for a single 380 or 960 its on offer and a good unit, i just picked a case that would fit all components. Get a case you like after all you gotta look at it day after day, the phanteks enthoo pro m is a nice case its definatley worth spending extra on a case as you get what you pay for.
