Hi guys... I am building a system with following for mid range gaming. I dont have to overclock. Not going for sli. Somewhere i have 2 options. Please suggest best and point out anomalies.

1. CPU : i5 6500
2. MB : Asus Z170 pro gaming
3. RAM : Corsair venegance 8GB 2400 Mhz DDR4
4. PSU : 550W or 650W
5. GPU: 4GB 970 or MSI 4GB 1050Ti

SSD and hard disk are obvious.

I second the 970 unless you can afford a 1060, but if you can't don't worry about it. I understand the z170 boards are the overclocking boards, so if you're not overclocking you want one because...? The wattage of the power supply isn't the important part, the quality is the important part. Whether it's a 500W to 600W, make sure it's a known good brand.
