Title says it all, i need some help choosing components for my next pc build.
currently i have pc with a8-7600, 8gb of ram 400w psu. Now i im thinking of selling my current system adding some cash and buying new one. Budget is around 350 maybe up to 400 euros.
My current choise of components:
intel i3 6100 CPU ~120euro
550 watt corsair psu ~50euro
MB Z170 S1151 ATX/Z170A-X1 ASROCK (cheapest one in my country)~100euro
Case 30euro
KINGSTON HYPERX PREDATOR 8GB (2X4) 3200Mhz 55euro
1 tb harddrive from old system.
Im building this pc with idea of upgrading cpu in the future like 2-3 years. ill be pairing i3 with my old club3d radeon 6950 (unlocked shaders). Going to stay with this gpu for like a year or so and buy another used one or something.

Good CPU.
Go with a cheaper MB. No need for a z170 chipset.
That COrsair PSU(VS i presume) is not that good.
Try to get 16Gb of RAM and an SSD.

i dont think that that PSU can handle my 6950 and i was thinking z170 mobo for overclocking capabilities since its going to be a while until my next cpu i pressume i would have to overclock it in the future.

The i3 is a non-K CPU and therefore not overclockable.
That PSU will handle that card, but, i too like some headroom. Get the 550W XFX TS. More expensive than what you had in mind, but well worth it.

Yes, but you shoudln't. you would need to downgrade you MBs BIOS to an older version that supported this(Intel has since forced all MB manufacturers to disable that by puching a microcode into teh new BIOSes). Also, said overclocking may at any time be completely disabled by pusching teh said microcode update into Windows itself. So, to simplify, forget about that and don;t bother. It's not like you really need to overclock a Skylake CPU, nor will you need to anytime soon.
