Follow your topics!

First, if you're going to do some base overclocking, you're going to need a better cooler than the stock one or you won't get very good results past stock

Second, 240GB is small, unless you have a small library of games. If you need more storage stick a 1TB drive in there

Everything else is fine

Follow the topics you create using the "Follow" button in the top right corner!

One day I will have my GTX 970. One day. PC specs are at my profile.

Not sure how to check what part works with what? Check out my compatibility guide!

You're probably better off going haswell due to motherboard prices

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

You could save a bit going for an H170 motherboard.

 

The psu is significantly larger than needed. You might also want to consider a modular model to reduce cable clutter.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

That CPU is not going to overclock. 

You can overclock Skylake processors with BCLK, so an unlocked processor is only necessary for getting the highest possible overclocks.

if you have to insist you think for yourself, i'm not going to believe you.

That is not going to get the i3 hot enough to need another cooler.
