This is an update to a previous topic I made as I took in the previous suggestions. I decided to stick to a PC that is US <$2,000. Plan to use it for hardcore gaming and most likely stream. Maybe in the future peak my head into 4K gaming. For now, 1080p is fine for me. I need thoughts and suggestions as I plan to keep this PC for a couple a years without an upgrade.

CPU: i7 6700k 4.0GHz Quad-Core

CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i GTX

Motherboard: ASUS Z170-A ATX LGA1151

RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4-2133MHz

GPU: EVGA Nvidia GTX 980Ti 6GB Superclocked

HDD: Seagare Baracuda 2TB 7200 RPM

PSU: EVGA 850W 80+ Gold Fully Modular (After-Market White Sleeved PSU Cables)

Case: Glossy White/Black NZXT H440 Case Mid-Tower

OS: Windows 10 64-Bit USB (Sadly)

I have some Razor Periphirals to go along with it. Any suggestions on the PC would be much appreciated.

Looks good but without part numbers it is tough to be sure. Use pcpartpicker.com please.

 

The build does need an ssd. Ideally, a 4-lane PCIe M.2 drive like Samsung SM951 256GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive or Samsung 950 PRO 256GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive. But if budget becomes an issue any 240GB+ ssd will do.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

PCIE SSD should be fantastic. Nice 16GB and a very reputable PSU company. Did I forget a nice and roomy case to work in?

I would consider 520W a touch small for the build. It is just 58W over max draw. This leaves little for overclocking and aging. Also, being fanless the psu has to be mounted with its grill up, venting into the case. The case psu shroud will likely have to left off so that the psu can cool itself adequately.

Thank you for your input:) I'll modify it.
