I will get this pc in a few days http:// I will use it mostly for games and it will be on about 8-10 hours / day.

I m thinking about this PSU http://

Do you think i ll be ok with 650w? If i want to overclock cpu sometime in the future will be also enough? Any suggestions about?

Thank you

Great PSU, more than enough for overclocking. I agree with Yogi get 2x8Gb, motherboard isn't quad channel so 4x4 will just put unnecessary strain on the memory controller.

The 650W Superflower that you have chosen should be just fine. Even for OC'ing.

One suggestion on RAM: Get 2X8 GB instead of 4X4. 2 DIMMs will be more stable and reliable.

Second both posts above. Hope you have good luck with the build. :)

Superflower makes beast PSU's. I use the EVGA made SuperFlower's.

Changed the RAM here to some other excellent quality stuff just colored different to match your build more. :)

Thanks for the answers guys. I ll go for the super flower psu then.

As for the mem now, i picked up those ones because in the QVL file for the asus z170-a in the asus support site, every 16gb ram combination for corsair & g.skill (which are the mems i prefer) is 4x4gb and not 2x8gb. At least in the range i can afford and can also find in the place i live (2400-2666ghz).

I received the pc a couple of days ago, but i think 6600k was not a smart choice. I see everywhere ppl saying that 6700k is much better for games. The gap in skylake between i7 vs i5 is way bigger than in previous generations. I hope it wont be that bad...

The 6600k is a good gaming cpu, the 6700k is only a little faster and has hyperthreading(currently not real helpful for just gaming). With gaming the difference will be little to none. If you are streaming and or doing other taks while gaming then there would be a bigger difference as hyperthreading would be beneficial under those circumstances.
