I've been thinking about building my gaming pc around 800 EUR. It's my first time doing it, so the only knowledge that i have its the things that i've read. I would like to know if the components that i've chose are good, so that can go foward. Give me your opinion and suggestions please, with max budget around 1000 EUR.

Motherboad: Asus Z170 Pro Gaming (156,90 EUR)
Memory: Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 8GB (2x4GB) DDR4 2400 (55,00 EUR)

If you dont intend to overclock, this is a decent alternate build with better video card.

it's nice, just a few errors to correct:

a Z170 board is only necessary when you plan to go SLI (2 Geforce video cards) or Overclock your CPU
since your Video Card can't be SLI'd and your CPU can't be overclocked, spending money on a Z170 Pro Gaming is pointless.
get an Asus H170 Pro gaming, a Gigabyte H170 Gaming 3 or Gigabyte G1.Sniper B7 instead. will save some cash.

otherwise if you do plan on overclocking, go with an i5-6600k + a 25-30€ CPU cooler (since it doesn't come with one)

the PSU you selected is a high grade unit. but you will never need 650W. your computer will draw around 250W from the grid, a 450W PSU is enough for that. If you want a modular unit the Corsair CXM450 (grey lettering) is your best bet at that price, otherwise I'd go with a XFX Core / Pro / TS 450W (any 450W XFX unit is fine apart from the XT)
if gold efficiency is a must for you because power is crazily expensive in your area, go with a 550W unit, they're usually cheaper.

So, if i change the cpu to the i5-6600k with the cooler, the Corsair CXM450 will still do the job right?
