I would like opinions and suggestions on the part choices, or if you can see a way to shave off the budget without compromising the build. It's supposed to be a build mainly for gaming.
Processor: Intel Core i5-6500
GPU: gigabyte geforce gtx 970 g1
Power supply: Corsair VS 650
Hard Drive: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1 tb
RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury Kit DDR3 8gb (2x4) 1600
Motherboard: gigabyte Z170-HD3 DDR3 S1151 Z170 ATX
Case: mid tower Carbide Spec-02
Any input is appreciated.
btw: it's my first build

Get a better psu. Any 550w XFX Bronze would be an upgrade and probably cheaper too.
Get a H170 motherboard with ddr4 RAM support and get ddr4 RAM.
Get the cheapest non reference 970.


If I knew what your budget is and what country you're in I could put a build together for you.

Why would you recommend ddr4 ram over ddr3?
And which 970, non reference, gpu do you suggest?
