The Skylake K chips don't come with coolers, even when boxed. The Cryorig H7 is a bit better than the 212 EVO and easier to install. The PSU you chose is so-so. I would look for something better.

Here are some nice power supplies:

The semi-modular GQ would be my choice.

This will be a great gaming system, the only thing here not taken into account is the monitor.

At 1080p, the 970 will have no issues pushing most games to the max, and even at 1440p, you'll still have a solid experience.

I'm not sure if this is still the case, but I don't think the 6700K comes with a stock air cooler, so you may want to look into one yourself. I would recommend the Cooler Master Hyper 212+, normally runs around 30 USD and does a great job of cooling, just make sure you have the vertical room in your case to accommodate.

mmm for what i know (5 min of google :D) pascal will be similar to titan series, not optimized for gaming, but for general purpose computing... So will the price go down? Or NVidia will just set an unaffordable price like titan serie prices?



For what i know, if the item has the tag "BOXED" it should include the stock cpu cooler... or it will have "TRAY" tag instead of BOXED...
