You have a B250 motherboard with an unlocked CPU, you need Z170 to OC (Or just get locked+stock cooler to save). I would recommend adding an SSD (16Gb of ram wouldn't be bad either, 8 is still enough though). 

Please quote our replys so we get a notification and can reply easily. Never cheap out on a PSU, or I will come to watch the fireworks.

Not looking to overclock really. Which CPU is locked? Not really wanting a stock cooler though. I could replace the 1060 with a RX 470 to add 16gb of DDR4 ram with a 128GB SSD.

Gives you the ability to overclock a Kaby Lake CPU, comes with 16GB of memory and a SSD. The GPU is more or less the same when it comes to gaming performance.

The ones with out the K (K means unlocked, 6500). I wouldn't give up that much power for an SSD or ram, it was just a suggestion, but you could buy the SSD first and then buy a HDD a few months later when you have the money and need the space (Same for ram, upgrade when you need it, not really necessary, just nice if you want to multitask).
