If you want easy to setup. Stick with a Skylake CPU. At least until Apple releases a computer with Kaby Lake. So get the i7-6700K. As your post is not clear as to which CPU you intend to buy.

That PSU is garbage. It is a Tier 4 unit. Get the Seasonic S12 II. It is a nice budget friendly Tier 2 unit. Otherwise get anything else which is Tier 1 or Tier 2.

The Be Quiet! Pure Rock is a much better CPU cooler for the price.

That motherboard will only support 4K@30hz (HDMI 1.4a). Get the ASUS Z170 Pro Gaming for DisplayPort 1.2 and 4k@60Hz. I chose this model because the price on Newegg is about...

The Firecuda is a bit of a waste, the SSD portion is tiny (8GB) and won't help much. Get a regular 1TB HDD and a decent 120GB SSD for a little more. If you want, you can set them up as an ad hoc Fusion drive. There are plenty of instructions on this. It requires a little bit of Terminal work with the installer. It will have far greater performance benefits. The rules on how much we can help with a Hackintosh are vague. So, I won't post a link. But you can readily find instructions for this.
