Hello guys I am a new guy here and i wanted your opinion on something!

I currently have a pc and i plan on changing it, my current build is :

CPU: AMD FX 8350 with water cooling a zalman one i can't remember exact model
Motherboard: Gigabyte 990XA UD3
Ram: DDR3 HyperX Beast 8GB 1866
Storage: 2 WD 600GB HDD
Video Card: Sapphire R9 270X toxic 2GB
Power supply: LC POWER 650 Watt
Monitor: It's an old one 22' 1680x1050 HDCP

So now i want to upgrade it to:

CPU: Intel Core i5 6500 3,2 GHz
Motherboard: MSI Z170-A pro

Ram: Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB DDR4 3200MHz

Storage: Corsair Force series Le 480Gb or 240Gb SSD don't know which one to get
Video card: Asus GeForce GTX 970 4GB strix OC
Monitor: Asus VS247HR

I live in Greece and i dont want to spend more than 1100 euros. Also i want thinking if I should wait for the new Intel CPUs and GTX 1060! Anyway what do you suggest me guys ? Thanks in advance
Also it's a gaming PC.

to save money you can just get a small ssd and reuse your hdds, an RX 480 may be a better alternative to the GTX 970 as it has more vram and performs quite similarly at a slightly cheaper price, or you could wait and see what the 1060 is like. A bit more ram later on might be a good investment too. Otherwise it is pretty good.
