why 16gb?  Most games only using ~8 and if you want to do any serious video editing that would warrant 16gb+ ram, you'd probably want to get an i7

Want a good game to play?  Check out Shadowrun: http://store.steampowered.com/app/300550/ (runs on literally any hardware)

@russian1337 You're new here so please read the CoC

 

and use pcpartpicker next time

 

since it's your first time I wouldn't recommend a k-series cpu go with a non k-series

 

the psu can still be around 600w

 the RAM is overkill all you need is 8gb for gaming

that's about it

Looking good. But 8GB are usually enough for games nowadays. Unless you wanna do some light video editing or stuff like that, then 16GB and i5 should be good enough. All you need now is a case to put all those in. Unless you already have 1. :)
