Hello there!

I intend to buy a new gaming computer, but my budget is low. I did a lot of research in order to maximize performance at minimum cost. This is the build I was thinking about:

CPU: Intel core i5 6600 (non K, since I'm not planning to do overclocking anytime soon).
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H170N-wifi (because it has superior sound quality and it features wifi).
Memory: HyperX FURY 8GB DDR4 2400Mhz CL15.
GPU: Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 1070 (Can't give up on that).
Hard Disk: Western Digital 1TB 7200 rpm.
PSU: FSP RAIDER 550w 80+ silver.
Case: Zalman T5 (ZM-T5).

I don't know how much it costs in the US, but this is the most expensive build I can afford myself, so all suggestions must stick to this price.

Do you think I need additional cooling, or maybe I should make some compromises to get a SSD, or a better memory (8GBx2)?

Thanks in advance!
 
the CPU cooler which comes with the CPU is enough. The motherboard supports only 2133Mhz, so, if you're going to pick any higher Mhz will not work, they will be limited to the max which the mobo can perform.

After that, i see everything fine.

The FSP is actually better. Checked some reviews and comparisons.

What do you think about the Antec HCG 520m?
