Hi. Basically I want to upgrade my computer as it's pretty bad right now. And I want to kind of 'future proof' it the parts in keeping from my old computer (still using) are 16gb-1333 DDR3 Ram. Zalman 11 case. Maybe a 500w psu depending on if I need a new one. A 4tb sshd. A 250gb ssd. A DVD burner and a sd card reader. http://pcpartpicker.com/list/pWttCy These are the parts I want to add. The motherboard. Cpu. Graphics card and cpu cooler. If you can recommend a better motherboard that would be appreciate. All parts are most likely going to be bought on Amazon unless otherwise needed. Thanks for your help guys :)

don't get a skylake build with DDR3 RAM. you won't be happy.
either go for new RAM or a 4790k/Z97 board

instead of the CM 212 I'd go with a cryorig H7. easier to fit, better cooling and no RAM interference

also the PSU linked is low quality. I wouldn't overclock these CPU / GPU with it
go with EVGA G2/GS/P2, Corsair Hx/RMx/Rmi, XFX XTR/TS Gold or Seasonic G if you can afford it
budget alternatives would be Corsair CXM-550/650 (500/600 cxm series is garbage), XFX TS Bronze/Core/Pro/Bronze wired (basically anything but XT) or Seasonic S12II/S12/M12/M12II

Could you recommend a different motherboard and ran for me and then? I have a £800 maybe £900-£1000 budget which is maxing it. And I would like a very decent graphics card like a 980 or 1070 etc. I have a GeForce 9500 GT and I think that's All I need to say about that. I also only have a dual core AMD 4Ghz. Which isn't good enough for what I need it for. I mostly play low end games at the moment but am fed up of not being able to play new ones. Also if you could what psu would you recommend as there is a lot to choose from. And the zalman case has a bottom mounted psu holder. Thanks a lot

I have a 500w psu atm if that will suffice for now I'll wait until I get more money and get s EVGA 220-G2-0750-XR 80 PLUS GOLD 750 W 10 yr Warranty ECO Mode Fully Modular or something similar. Also I already have the Corsair 16gb 1333 DDR3 ram. So it would be a bit cheaper and helpful if I could integrate that but..

Will my pc be cool enough and haves enough power for my gpu as I only have stock fans installed in my zalman. The graphics card I have currently crashed every now and again and I am wondering if that's to do with heat?
