I built a mid-range/budget system in 2010. Since then I've upgraded the gpu, ram, and hdds. Now I'd like to upgrade my cpu/mobo (and ram to ddr4 by necessity).

Main questions:
Is the power supply sufficient for this z170 setup?
Are the psu connectors compatible with the new motherboard and is 650W enough?
Are there any obvious mistake I'm making in my "New Parts" section?

The old parts I plan on keeping:
Case: Antec Three Hundred Illusion Black Steel ATX Mid Tower
PSU: CORSAIR TX Series CMPSU-650TX 650W ATX12V

The parts I bought in the past year:
GPU: GeForce GTX 970
SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 500GB & Samsung 850 PRO 128 GB

New Parts:
CPU: Intel Core i5-6600K 6M Skylake Quad-Core 3.5 GHz LGA 1151
MOBO: ASUS Z170 PRO GAMING LGA 1151
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 3200
Heatsink/Fan: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - CPU Cooler with 120 mm PWM Fan

Unmatched Compatibility
Zero RAM Interference


Focusing on providing the widest range of
compatibility, the H7 utilizes an asymmetric slanted
heatpipe layout to move the heatsink away from the
RAM zone, Offering optimal compatibility for RAM
with tall heat spreaders on both Intel 115X and
AMD platforms.

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll probably go with that cooler now.

I'm just a little surprised that my 6 year old power supply will be the right one for this system.
