First build 1000-1100 euro's. Gaming and School.

Hello,
My name is Sem and i turned 15 today!!!!:pt1cable: 
I'm from Holland and want to build my first pc.
I'm gonna use it for school and gaming.
The games i play the most are Paladins(bcs i can't run OW), Smite and Black Squad.
With my new pc i wanna play games like: Skyrim, Battlefront, Fallout.
Sorry for my poor english.

I think i know a decent amount about computers, so no need of explaining the basics.
My budget is 1000-1100 euro's or 1.173,40-1.290,74 dollars.

Recently, i participated with a photo contest and i won!!!!!
I won the i7-6800k. It has 6 cores, 12 threads, 15Mb of third level cache and a frequenty of 3,4-3,8Ghz.

I am planning to overclock my cpu later and not that extreme. So something like 4,2Ghz.
Some people say that i need to sell the cpu and buy a newer one. But i got the package a bit dented and the seal was opened, so i think i would not get that much for it.

I am planning to buy everything at Alternate.

The parts that i already have are: CPU, Keyboard, mouse, headset and Windows.

I am not sure about my ram. I know that my CPU supports 4DIMMs, but it is a lot more expensive in Holland to go 4DIMMs. 
Should i go:

(172 euro's in Holland.)
or

(137 euro's in Holland)
Is it really worth it?

I had chosen the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 WINDFORCE OC 6G as GPU, but people on other forums said that i should take the Inno3D GeForce GTX 1060 iChill X3 V2 6GB.
But i don't know if it is a trustworthy brand.

I am not gonna change my SSD and Monitor, because i can get a discount on them through my brother, because he works at a tech store. Only my SSD and Monitor. Nothing else.

This is my build:

I have chosen the Scythe Mugen 5, but PCPartPicker didn't have that in their database, so i chose Scythe Mugen 4. I still want to buy the Scythe Mugen 5.
The same story for the monitor. The actual monitor i want to buy is: SAMSUNG 3-Series S24F356FHU.

The only difference is that the one i want is PLS.

Also the total price is actually: 1101

What could i do better?

Sorry that it is so long.

Thanks in advance!

Sell the 6800k and put the money you make from it towards an HDD and an 8700k instead of the 8600k.

Happy Birthday Sem, The X99 i7 6800K supports quad channel memory, meaning most boards support 8 DIMMs, but with 4 channels, I'd pick the 2x8GB kit for now and upgrade to another 2x8GB later for 32GB. The specs you listed are pretty OK, both GTX 1060's are more than good, either is a good choice. I would suggest a better PSU though, something like an RM650x for upgradability in the future and a better cooler, maybe an AIO or a large tower cooler from Noctua or Be Quite!

Yours faithfully

Is the Corsair CS650M a good replacement?

or is the Corsair RM650x better?

CS isn't that good. The Vengeance is significantly better. 

Pick a tier 1. 550W is fine.
