Here are my specs

I5 6600 non k
12gb ddr4 ram (2 x 4gb ripjaw and 1 data 4gb @ 2400mhz)
H170m-d3h
Evga sc gtx 970
Evga 500w bronze psu
Cosair ssd 120gb
Seagate 500gb

Overall I think I should be able to overclock it since its a skylake build

as long as it's not using that much power you should be fine here http://pcpartpicker.com/ you can put your computer together and see how much wattage it's using if it's in the 300w area it should be fine. have fun pushing the performance and make sure to stress test
