Hey guys, I want to build a new desktop computer. I will use it for webdesign (codding, photoshop, illustrator) and gamming. Here are the specs i have in mind:

 

CPU: i7 6700K  (I just ordered)

Motherboard: ASRock Z170 EXTREME4 (Supports DDR4 3866+(OC)*/3600(OC)/3200(OC)/2933(OC)/2800(OC)/2400(OC)/2133 non-ECC, un-buffered memory)

CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15

Case: Thermaltake Core V51, Middle Tower

SSD: Kingston HyperX 3K 120GB (i own already)

RAMM: ?? I am thinking: Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4, 2*8GB 3200MHz, C16  ??

PSU: ?? I am thinking: Thermaltake Smart SE 630W

 

GPU: This i am thinking to purchase later GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 970 G1 GAMING 4GB DDR5 256-bit

Monitor: Samsung U28E590D 4k (I own already)

 

I am not sure about RAM. I'we seen some of Linus videos where z170 series dont get good results with ramm bigger then 3000mhz. Any clue where I can check if those Rams are compatible with Motherboard before i do any puchase? Or you think my choise will be just fine?

Also I try to save some money on PSU, will a Thermaltake Smart SE 630W be enough for this build?

Change the PSU to a SeaSonic/XFX one. Thermaltake is less than ideal.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

For the GPU, I own a GTX 980 STRIX and I could not be happier with it. Just thought I should give some info :)

For GPU go for R9 390 or R9 390x at this price point, or spend a little more and get some Fury, they will become cheaper soon.

PS: Dont buy GTX 980, It doesnt have nice price performance ratio.

Not the same price point, but yeah, sure, if he have the money for it.
