Help M/B and CPU

Hey there guys, I just have taken some inspiration from Linus's RGB PC video and decided to change some the tech in my PC to RGB. 

I bought a new case, added some RGB fans (NZXT AER), RGB Ram (G-skill trident 32gb worth, 2 sets of 16gb) and also a Strix GTX 1080 GPU (8gb). I have added this to my existing motherboard which is a Gigabyte Z170-D3H-CF and CPU i7 6700k (4core) processor. I do some gaming like Destiny, Tomb Raider and Call of Duty and light content creation.

I'm just a little worried that with the added parts would be consuming high power and may cause something to happen, should I be upgrading the motherboard and/or CPU too?

Please let me know,

King regards

Mobo and CPU will be fine.

What's your PSU (power supply)?

I usually edit my posts immediately after posting them, as I don't check for typos before pressing the shiny SUBMIT button.

Your PSU can handle all the hardware you are planning to use. Enjoy your new build :)
