Hello guys
I'm going to build an enthusiast PC and want to get a comment on if it is good part list or should I substitute some of them, haven't followed the trends for a while.

Here is my part list:
CPU - Intel Core i7 6700k
CPU Cooler - Noctua NH U12S
Motherboard - ASUS z170 Deluxe
GPU - ROG STRIX-GTX1080-O8G-GAMING (assuming it will be out soon)
RAM - CMK32GX4M4A2666C15
SSD - Samsung 950 PRO 256gb
HDD - WD Black 2Tb (wd2003fzex)
PSU - Corsair HX 750i
Case - be quiet! Silent Base 800 with a window :)
Windows 10 I guess

Looking forward for your comments!
 
CPU COOLER - If you are already spending that much on the U12S, just step up to the D15
MB - The Sabertooth below will be just fine. The Deluxe is a bit of overkill.
SSD - Look toward an M.2 model.
HD - No need for a performance drive like the Black when you have a fast SSD in the mix.
PSU - XFX, Seasonic, the EVGA G2 lineup, or filter through the Tier 1 or Tier 2 list. www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

Overclock as you please. Add a second GTX 1080 in SLI when / if you need more graphics muscle.
