Hey there,
I am planning to build my first " Built PC"  in the few days to come, I picked the parts that i think were perfect for the "gaming" build, just want to show you out there to make sure i chose right.
Please note that I want the PC to last longer with no performance issues -glad I wrote PC- I don't want to keep upgrading it is expensive :).
I will put links for the components I chose and i will write the prices I manged to find in my country in USD in  red just to show you guys in North America that you live in PC heaven.
Please excuse any grammar mistakes.

GPU : I am still using mine    https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GeForce-Overclocked-GDDR5-GV-N970IXOC-4GD/dp/B00OQUMGM0/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1478546981&sr=1-1&keywords=gigabyte+gtx+970+mini

CASE : I need a medic here :) 



Main points, 
I want to make sure that everything fits right,
like do you think that the psu is sufficient enough to run?, will the cables fit in an ATX case or are they too small considering its an (M) psu (sorry if i sound a bit idiotic) ?
Will Intel's 1150 die anytime soon ?
are there any better options i missed ? or anything please tell me anything would be helpful :) ,

Thanks :)

Don't build a 1150 rig, its an already die-ing platform, go 1151 as above with newer DDR 4

Thanks mate :)

 


This is the Ram i manged to find:

Kingston Technology HyperX FURY 2400MHz DDR4 Non-ECC CL15 DIMM 16 DDR4 2400 MT/s (PC4-19200) HX424C15FBK2/16

could not find the motherboard you suggested around but i got the  idea about the 1151 :) 
The prices are waaaaaaaaaay different here due to taxes and costumes,
i don't have a lot of choices either really new and very expensive or somehow old and affordable :)

UK prices are generally more in £££ than the US pays in $$$, quite annoying that I paid £580 (719) (for a 1080 GTX when theyre getting EVGA 1080 SSC for $643.99 (UK same card is $804 - £649)

no!

 

If buying a 6700k (unlocked processor) you need a z series motherboard. In this case that is a z170

 

heres a list

thats why i need help :)

I recommend either asus or ASRock for motherboards. Their BIOS's are very easy to navigate and are generally high quality
