Hello everyone, I am doing my first build of a computer and would like to give me opinion on this build.

i5 6600k
MSI Gaming Z170A 3
Zalman Z9 Neo Black
MSI GTX 970 4GB
1TB
Kingston 8GB 2133
Nox Hummer 650W

 

What do you think? Should I change anything?

Thank you and have a nice day.

Before I can give you any opinions, I would like to know

Your budget

Country of residence

Resolution you will work and/or game at

Use cases (gaming, editing, server, school work etc)

Any old PC you have, and if yes, its specs.

The problem is that this is an nVidia product and scoring any nVidia product a "zero" is also highly predictive of the number of nVidia products the reviewer will receive for review in the future.

You apparently haven't seen his responses to questions on YouTube. He is very condescending and aggressive in his comments with which there is little justification. He acts totally different in his videos. I don't necessarily care for this content style and there is nothing really unique about him or his channel. His endless dick jokes and toilet humor are annoying as well.

So 

MSI B150A Gaming Pro

6500 or 6700

1TB

8GB RAM

GTX 970

Zalman Z9 Neo

Corsair Modular CS-550W M

?

You'd want a 390 over a 970 if the price is the same, or seriously just wait 2 months or so for the new stuff
 

390, more wins at 1440p + though

390 is better for higher resolutions and I only have one monitor(1080p) and I'm not thinking about buying another one soon. Yea i tought about the 390 for the new stuff too.

The 390 also supports a-sync which is a major feature of DX12, in the recent hitman game it made a 390 as fast as a stock titan X, all the maxwell cards lack a-sync, and in addition it has 125% more VRAM

 

the 980ti is only as high as it is because it's pretty heavily OC'd to 1300mhz

For the 390 will need another PSU instead of Corsair 550W Modular CS-M?

Doesn't look well balanced. Here's my feedback:

CPU, Cooler and Motherboard: Don't get overclocking parts. It's hardly worth it in the first place, and it's worth even less when you're only gaming. Get an i5-6500 and an H110 board.

GPU: Switch this for an R9 390. Slightly better DX11 performance, significantly better DX12 performance, and double the VRAM without any segmentation nonsense.

PSU: What is that? I'd highly suggest getting a tested PSU from a reputable brand. 500W is enough. Use these PSU Tier lists to pick an appropriate one:

550W would be fine, the skylake chips draw less than 100W typically

 

the absolute max a 390 will draw is around 300W, and most people will never see such a continual load, mostly just stick to the average and maybe the peak

You can also potentially drop the voltage on your card and maintain the same performance with better power efficiency, but naturally it's not going to be gaurenteed to be able to run on really low voltage, but it worked well for one of the fury cards in this test, basically making it an R9 nano
