I am looking to build a new pc in the near future may like August. I was looking for your opinions of these specs, what should I change or what do you think of my choices? I was debating whether to get a Gigabyte z170 gaming 5 instead of the gaming 3.

Here is what I am thinking

CPU: Intel Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor ($347.00 @ Amazon)
CPU Cooler: Corsair H115i 104.7 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler ($109.99 @ Amazon)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z170X-Gaming 3 ATX LGA1151 Motherboard ($139.59 @ Amazon)

Storage: Samsung 850 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($88.15 @ Amazon)
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($47.49 @ OutletPC)
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 970 4GB SSC ACX 2.0+ Video Card ($304.90 @ Amazon)
Case: Thermaltake Core V71 ATX Full Tower Case ($149.99 @ Amazon)
Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA NEX 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply ($78.10 @ Amazon)
Optical Drive: LG WH16NS40 Blu-Ray/DVD/CD Writer ($54.88 @ OutletPC)

It really depends on what you're using your system for. If your PC is for video editing and gaming, this is the best PC for the money.
