Hi, Sorry if this is in the wrong category, couldn't see a PC thread :)

Im building my first ever PC. Just wanted to hear if these parts are good? And if they will fit together?

CPU: Intel Core i7-6700K Skylake 4.0Ghz

PSU: Corsair RM850x 850W PSU

Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo

MotherBoard: ASUS ROG MAXIMUS VIII
RANGER Socket-1151

RAM: 2x Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 2133MHz 16GB

Case: In Win GRone Big Tower

SSD: Samsung SSD 850PRO 256GB

I already have a gtx 770 which i plan to reuse from my old PC untill i buy a new card later this year.

Anything i need to get or change? Thanks for all the help you can give me :)

Looks good.
Is that ram 2 individual 16gb sticks, or a 16gb kit composed of 2 8gb sticks.
You always want to install ram in a single matched kit.

Considering your budget, I might spend a bit more for a 500gb ssd.
The main value of the PRO version is increased endurance, not much difference in performance.
A 500gb evo will actually last longer than the 250gb PRO because of the extra nand blocks.
It is a moot point, you are looking at lifespans in excess of 10 years under heavy desktop usage.
All drives will be long obsolete before they wear out.

Yes that and maybe ad one HDD of at least 1 TB instead of added cost of SSD double the size.

To nitpick as it were

6700k & a high end board makes me think you're considering overclocking - the 212 evo is fairly mediocre , it's a good budget cooler but they aren't budget components.go with at least a cryorig h5 , a noctua dh-15 or something in a similar performance bracket.

Strictly on a budget front.
Motherboard is over expensive , very good though admittedly.
You can get a 500gb 850 evo for less than a 256gb pro & apart from benchmark testing you won't notice a blind bit of difference.

Corsair rmx is generally overpriced unless you get a great deal.

Evga 650/750 GS/g2/GQ all cheaper & still very very good - aren't going to struggle with any single GPU setup at all.

It's 2x 8GB sticks, my mistake. Combined it's 16gb.

I thought about changing the 256GB SSD, into a 128GB SSD PRO for my OS only. And then get the 500gb SSD evo for my games a few weeks after, when i have abit more money.

I already have a 1TB HDD from my old PC that i think i will reuse for some time :)
But i feel more confident about my build, now that alot of you guys have looked it over :D
