Hello, this will be my first build ever so I'm looking for opinions on my parts list before I make the purchase. The build: (I am planning on using AMDs new 480 when it is released)

Cpu: 4x i5 6600k @ 3.5 GHZ
Gpu: AMD RX 480
MoBo: Gigabyte GA Z170 HD3P
PSU: EVGA Supernova 750G2 80+ Gold
HD: 1TB 7200 RPM SATA (not sure which one. Suggestions for a cheap yet good one would be appreciated)
RAM: Kingston HyperX FURY 2×8GB DDR4
Case: VIVO ATX mid tower

I also have no idea if the RX 480 will work with the mobo, so if anyone knows please tell me.
-Thanks!

Don't know much about the case, but you'll need a CPU cooler that will fit in it. Suggest a Cryorig H7 if you're going to overclock. I would also use faster ram, 3000 - 3200, for a nice performance gain in some games and apps. The RX 480 will work and make for a great 1080p gaming rig. Lastly, add an SSD for the OS and commonly used apps will make the system a lot more responsive. The OCZ Trion 150 or PNY CS1311 are decent budget SSD's.
