you cant oc on a 6600 so theres no point in a z170 board. dominator plats are horribly overpriced and barely contribute to fps. get cheaper ram and spend the money on a 6600k. which specific 750w psu?

1. Get a i5-6600K. Spend the extra $10.

2. See you have a Z170 board already.

3. DOMINATOR PLATINUMS ARE SO UNECESSARY. -_- Just get normal RAM.

4. Add in specifics for PSU, SSD, and HDD.

For your current build, you probably don't need to go as high as 750W PSU. I wouldn't go lower than a 400W though. Just make sure you go with a reputable brand like Corsair, EGVA, or Seasonic.

Get a 6600K but not 300MHz RAM makes little to no difference.

550W-ish PSU

Saved money --> larger SSD and a CPU cooler (Cryorig H7)
