So i have been putting this PC together ages now and im finally going to buy all the parts for it in a few weeks now i dont mind spending a tiny little bit more but on like extra $20 i will never overclock or anything and im trying to keep it as future proof as possible

also my main thing is just gaming on ULTRA at 60 fps i guess

what do you think of it please give your opinion http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/RP4kjc

It's pretty solid. With more budget flexibility you could fit in a GTX 1070 for a relatively similar price. That would be this 870 quid GTX 1070 build:

Ram should be 2x4gb, for 8gb. Do not really need that cooler, for a locked i5, either. 120gb ssd will fill up too fast, and kingstons I tend to stay away from. The i5 6600 isn't really worth the added cost, vs the 6500. I included a cooler, just in case you really did want one that was better, than stock. A CX450M PSU would be sufficient, but kept a higher wattage modular, for upgrade headroom.

There really is not such thing as future proof, but with some changes, you could manage an i7, for some longevity, for a bit more price.

It still might not work 100% correctly, as they are not a matched set, meant to work together.

I do not have prices in pounds.
But since you are budget constrained, I have some suggestions:

1. I suggest a I3-6100, which will cost less than a I5-6600.
It is no slouch in gaming. Here is a review with comparisons to a I5-6600.
http://www.anandtech.com/show/10543/the-skylake-core-i3-51w-cpu-review-i3-6320-6300-6100-tested
If your games are multiplayer, which responds to many threads, I5-6600 might be better.
2. No cpu cooler is required(even for a I5-6600)
3. H110 motherboards are cheaper.
There is little that H170 buys you.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGA_1151
4. Always buy a 2 stick ram kit so you can operate in faster dual channel mode.
If you ever might want 16gb, buy it now. Adding ram later is not guaranteed to work.
5. Seasonic 620w is a top quality psu. But a GTX1060 only needs about 450w. buy the S12II 520w unit if it is cheaper.
6. 120gb is too small for windows.
If you can go 240gb, or 500gb you may never need a hard drive.

I would defer on the hard drive unless you need to store large files such as video's.
It is easy to add a hard drive later.
Samsung EVO is a good choice for performance and reliability.

The one in my build, yes easily. Cable management of the 88R isn't the easiest, but overall It's still a solid case for most air cooled or liquid cooled builds.

Regarding geofelt's post, I've said it before, I don't like the flawed hyper-threading support in many games. I'll really try to take an Intel i5 even in cheaper minded builds. That's just personal I guess though.
