Chassis: Corsair Carbide Air 540 - Black

Video card: EVGA GeForce GTX 970 4GB ACX 2.0

Processor: Intel Core i5-6600K Skylake - Box

Cooler for the processor: be quiet! Pure Rock

RAM Memory: Corsair Dominator DDR3 1600MHz 16GB

Power Supply: be quiet! Power Zone 850W

Hard Drive: WD Blue 1TB 7200rpm 64MB

You want DDR4 RAM. Not DDR3.

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.

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

So all the parts that i have choosen fits?

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)

so i can change the current RAM Corsair Dominator DDR3 1600MHz 16GB to Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 2666MHz 16GB ?

Yes the Corsair Vengeance DDR4 will be fine.
