nah you could just touch the grounding prong on the PSU to be sure when you are building it. You also need a screwdriver.

I would recommend the h110 over the h100. And i would recommend getting a bx100 as it is a higher quality SSD.

And honestly a stock 6700k with a 212 evo and an h170 MOBO would be cheaper and perform better on average than the setup you have here. That is what i would do if i were you. You could even get that and a cheaper z170 mobo and overclock in the future if you want to, either way it will cost you about the same and be more powerful/more versatile due to hyperthreading and much stronger general performance.

The case and power supply you picked were garbage, This PSU is actually cheaper and higher quality and more reliable. This case will make the build so much better. You won't care about asthetics and case quality until you actually get the cheap case and it is rally bad, The enthoo pro is an amazing case and DEFINITELY worth the money.

The 6700k will do quite a bit better than a 6600k in gaming.

Any questions/concerns?
