Please check my components - about to do a new Build

[homebuilder2016]

Hello ! What a great forum, wanted to ask a favor.

Can the audience look at these components and tell me what you think. This is a first-time build of a "mid-range" Gamers PC. Below parts via Amazon will set me back $1100. (Wanted to be $1000 or less but almost made it)

Seagate 1TB Desktop HDD SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5-Inch Internal Bare Drive (ST1000DM003)

EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G1 80+ GOLD, 650W Continuous Power, Fully Modular 10 Year Warranty Power Supply 120-G1-0650-XR

Samsung 850 EVO - 250GB - 2.5-Inch SATA III Internal SSD (MZ-75E250B/AM)

Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - CPU Cooler with 120mm PWM Fan (RR-212E-20PK-R2)

ASUS LGA1151 DDR4 DisplayPort HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 H170 ATX Motherboards H170 PRO GAMING

Keyboard, Mouse, Monitor, pending selection

Any advice, suggestions, any "gotchas" with the above ?

OS ? Buy Windows 8 then upgrade to 10 ? Or buy Windows 7 ?

Thank YOU

Do all of the parts HAVE to be from amazon??? The first thing that stands out is that psu is not very good. I'm curious what the price of that 970 is. You've selected a cpu that's made for overclocking but a motherboard that doesn't support overclocking. You could save money there by dropping to the i5 6500.

Overall, it doesn't LOOK like it should cost $1100.

This build would be considerably better for $250 less.

Does not NEED to be from Amazon, but preferred since I can order it all via one website, obviously I want best prices tho

GTX 970 is $289.99 from Amazon

970 is not a option these days, you have both 1060 and 480 with new tech now.

With this mobo you can even overclock with nonK CPUs , also the 480 is the custom design with much better build.

$289 is a terrible price for a GTX970 since the GTX1060 is $5 cheaper and outperforms the GTX980.
