First time making a pc, im currently planning on getting the following parts:

Intel Core i5 6600 3.3 GHz Skylake Processor LGA1151
ARCTIC Freezer i30 - 120mm
ASUS H110M-A DDR4 - mATX LGA1151
Kingston ValueRAM - 8GB DD4r 2133MHz PC4-17000 CL15
ASUS Strix GTX970-DC2OC-4GD5 graphics card - 4GB
Samsung 850 EVO mZ-75E250 - 2.5" SATA-600 250GB
Case: Cooler Master Elite 344 - micro ATX Black/Silver
Corsair VS series VS550 - 550W 120mm Black

Any suggestions/changes/improvements? :)

Also, what kind of fps can I expect from games like The Division, ARK, CS:GO and others? :)

Thanks in advance!

I would say is there a limit in the budget cause I would say upgrade the 6600 to the 6600k for 10 dollars more and switch the board to a msi z170-A Pro then upgrade the case to a bit bigger case for a bigger performance gain. The 6600k n the MSI board upgrade is only 30 dollars so its not that huge of a change in terms of price over performance. I know your case is a micro case but at least later on you have OC abilities and can SLI if you want another 970. This again is just my opinion.

Cool link good to know about the h7. Though I know that image and information is great but holy is that thing super close to the ram heat sink. Even I wouldn't push my luck with that. That's my opinion though again.

I can change the case to the non-micro verison for less than 5 bucks. I just didnt wanna spend the money on a fancy case, didnt really look into it too much, lol.

But yea, the case size wont be a problem, I will just upgrade it to a bigger one :)

Can you please elaborate on this, superninja12: you are aware, that you cannot a 2nd hdd with that tall grpahics card are you?

As a complete newbie, and not really knowledgable within this whole pc building stuff, im not quite sure i get what you mean? :)

look at the photo of the case, you are removing space behind the gpu by adding a hdd alter on.
meaning less space for the gpu.

I see.. I am planning on using it solely as a gaming pc. So I wont be using it for school/work stuff. All that will be stored on the pc is gonna be games and I dont play a wide array of games, really. Do you think the 250gb will be enough? or should i look into an external hdd/other case with an hdd + my ssd? I really want an ssd, never had one before and it just seems awesome :)
