Hey everyone! I am brand new to all of this and have never built a desktop before. I threw these parts together off of partpicker and am hoping for all thoughts and feedback. I'm pretty lost with all the different options and the language that goes into these items, so help would be greatly appreciated. I'm mainly going to be using this build for WoW, Overwatch and occasionally some of the more graphics intensive titles such as The Witcher. Thanks for any and all feedback!?

Definitely upgrade the PSU to an EVGA G2, or any XFX and Seasonic.

You could also swap out that 970 for an R9 390 for extra performance.

Skylake is already out, and the price difference is no very small so get the i5 6600K.

If you are planning on gaming on 1440P, get the R9 390.

Look for a better power supply for a high end build like this, check here:
