►Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB DDR4 2400MHz CL15 Black (HX424C15FB/8)
►MSI GeForce GTX970 OC Tiger White Armor, 4GB GDDR5, 256-Bit, 3-Way SLI, DVI, HDMI, DP (V316-035R) [The white one]
►Intel Core I5-6600K 3.50GHz, 6MB Cache, Quad Core, S1151, (BX80662I56600K)

Yes everything will work fine. You don't want to use H110 motherboard with k processors since you will lose Overclocking capabilities. You should get a Z170 board. CX power supplies are poor quality, I would stay away from it.

^ + 1. Basically agree with previous post.

If wanting a system for gaming a Z170 motherboard together with the i5-6600k CPU would be a better way to go, especially if any overclocking is to be done (later).

Some possible motherboards, and depending on your budget (note that a ATX sized case will have to be selected to accommodate these motherboards; and as cases are more a personal preference or subjective, then specific cases are not suggested nor recommended) -

ASRock Fatal1ty Z170 Gaming K4

Asus Z170 Pro Gaming

Gigabyte GA-Z170X-Gaming 6

MSI Z170A Gaming M5

MSI Z170Z Gaming M7


The single 8 GB memory module is not really ideal as it will operate in single channel mode. For gaming it is better to have dual channel mode, and suggest a dual channel kit of 2 x 8 GB be used, such as -

Kingston FURY 16 GB

Power draw for the system will be in the order of 350- W. A quality PSU rated at a minimum of 500 W is suggested.

The Corsair CX600M PSU is not really a good quality unit. Some suggested better quality PSU's -

EVGA SuperNOVA 750 B2

EVGA SuperNOVA 650 GQ

SeaSonic S12II 520

Antec HCG-620M

I don't like smaller SSD drives, no sense saving $20 to limit fast storage space when you are spending 30 times that on other components. Get a 250 or a 512 gb ssd so you can actually install programs on the thing instead of running programs off the slower regular drive.
