You want DDR4 RAM. Not DDR3.

'Fanboyism is stupid' - someone on this forum.

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

Looks like a good build.

Come on guys... square peg in a round hole situation. DDR3 will not work in that board.

 

@xpdt the 850W power supply is overkill. 550W would be plenty.

I need new glasses lol - mistook ASUS for Gigabyte for some strange reason.

If you don't need nvidia features, the 390 performs better than the 970 (although I feel like people exaggerate a bit) and, depending on where you are, may be cheaper than the 970

Apart from the RAM. You picked DDR3, but you need DDR4, which is more expensive. The RAM you picked will quite simply not fit in your motherboard. 

(and as always, the 6600K and Z170 chipset only make sense if you actually want to overclock. If you don't want to, you can safe quite a bit on CPU and motherboard)
