I have put together this build for a 1080p monitor screen, here are the parts:

CPU: Intel Core i7-4970K 4.0 GHz Quad-Core Processor LGA 1150
CPU Cooler: Raijintek Themis Black CPU Cooler
Motherboard: ASUS Z170M-Plus Motherboard
Memory: Kingston HyperX Fury HX318C10FBK2/8 8GB (2x4GB) Black
Storage: SanDisk Ultra II 240GB 2.5in SSD
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 2TB ST2000DM001
Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 970 Gaming 4GB
Case: Corsair Carbide 200R Compact ATX Case
Power Supply: Be Quiet! Pure Power L8 600W Power Supply
Optical Drive: Samsung SH-224DB 24x DVDRW OEM
OS: Microsoft Windows 10

Are those parts all compatible? Also the PSU okay? because i might do some overclocking in the future. Thanks

Also do i need any other parts?

I'm pretty sure you're CPU and motherboard are not compatible with each other. The i7 is a LGA 1150 socket while the motherboard is LGA 1151. That motherboard is for the new Skylake processors by intel, either switch your CPU to a Skylake CPU or switch your motherboard to one that has a LGA 1150 socket. Also, if you have the money maybe get a higher wattage PSU, just to play it safe. Best of luck.

I would agree with what Box has suggested except one thing.

The 600W PSU is sufficient even for overclocking those parts.
Unless you're looking to set up an SLI config in the future, I wouldn't worry too much about the PSU.
