CX 550w is a good PSU and it's cheaper than the g2 and other "tier 1" psu.

 

I think you will regret getting a 6600k with Ryzen 5 right around the corner. I for one wished I had waited to get something from Ryzen or just had kept my money. The 6600k is good but I paid an extra $100-$150 for the CPU upgrade and cooler just to overclock.. If you wait for Ryzen 5 you can get a 1600x with 6 cores 12 threads for like $260. It has lower IPC than Skylake/Kabylake but it is decent and in multicore applications it is infinitely better than a 4c4t or 4c8t.

i5-6600k (4.6) | Dark Rock 3 | MSI GAMING X 1060 6GB | 8GB DDR4 | 120GB SSD & 1TB HDD | Crystal 460x

 | Acer GN246HL 1080p 24" 144hz & Acer G246HL 1080p 24" 60hz |
