Hello :) I'm building my first desktop and need some guidence and help with the component choosing. I'll follow the "guide" that are posted in the forum, so all of you have a better understanding on what i'm aiming for.

1. Budget & Location

I live in Denmark, Europe and have a budget around 1.700 USD approx. 1.525 Euro

2. Aim

I want to build a system which mostly are going to play games like CS and Overwatch. Besides that the workload are coming from java coding.

3. Monitors

To start i'm would be running one monitor, which will be the BenQ RL2455HM or something similar. But future plans is to get a second one.

4. Peripherals

I'm going to run the computer on Windows, which is a part of the budget.

5. Why are you upgrading?

I'm Upgrading because im tired of play and working on a laptop.

 

When that is said i have some idea what i'm looking for, but because is my first build i'm really unsure if i'm doing it right.

 

My idea for the build is:
CASE: Nzxt H440 black/blue

POWERSUPPLY: Corsair Cx-m Series Cx650m

GPU: ASUS STRIX-GTX1060-O6G-GAMING 6 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card - Black

MOTHERBOARD: MSI Z97 PC Mate Intel LGA1150 Z97 ATX Motherboard (4x DDR3, 4x USB3.0, 8x USB2.0, GBE, LAN, HDMI, VGA, DVI)

CPU: Intel Core i7 Quad-Core i7-6700 3.4GHz Processor CPU

HEATSINK: Computer Aluminum Heatsink CPU Cooler Cooling Fan for Intel AMD

SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 250 GB 2.5 inch Solid State Drive - Black

MEMORY: HyperX Fury 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR3 1866 MHz CL10 DIMM Memory Module Kit - Blue

FANS: Corsair Air Series AF120-LED 120mm Quiet Edition High Airflow LED Fan - Blue

EKSTRA: NZXT 2m LED Cable - Blue

OS: WIndows 10 Home

Please help me if i forgot something, if the components dont fit together or my idea is totally trash.
