Need someone to review my build!

Hello forum,
I am just about to upgrade my system, and I just wanted to check here that I don't buy any incompatible hardware.

So I am thinking:

CPU: i7-6700
Motherboard: MSI B150M PRO-VD D3
RAM: Keeping my 1600 9-9-9-24 DDR3 memory from old system
PSU: OCZ-ZX1250W from old system
GPU: 980ti from old system
Case: Thermaltake Chaser MK-I full tower from my old system

So my main questions are

1) will the i7-6700 keep up with my 980ti and easily run every video game on ultra settings 1440p for the next 5 years? Or should I get the 6700k?
2) will that motherboard support my 1600 9-9-9-24 DDR3 RAM?
3) I really don't want to overclock. If the 6700 is good enough then I can buy that cheap non-overclockable mobo. That would be ideal.
4) Will my old Chaser MK-I case support the motherboard?

Cheers for the help, thanks

You will be 100% GPU limited in any properly programmed game.

I would avoid B150 boards and absolutely NEVER use DDR3 for that chip though! Go with an H170 and new DDR4 ram, you'll thank yourself in the long term
Here's some parts you can try instead without costing too much more:

Thanks. The processor i wish to replace is my i5-2500k, its 3,3ghz at stock speeds... the i7-6700 runs at the same clock speed. I am a little scared. Are u sure it will be eniugh?

Alright didnt know this chip gets bottlenecked by ddr3! Will get ddr4 then i suppose?

1) Between Sandy Bridge and Skylake there's been a ~25% improvement (more when you consider AVX2 is popping up in some games) minimum in IPC, so that 3.2GHz Skylake i7 6700 is like a 4GHz i7 2600K
2) The i7 6700 (not k) is actually 3.4GHz, not 3.2, so it's even faster!
3) For multithreaded tasks (video editing, etc), the hyperthreading will add 50% performance over quad core alone
4) The issue isn't bottlenecking, it's that skylake was NOT made to run DDR3, only DDR4. Some motherboards trick the chip into accepting it, but it's not healthy for the chip and can sometimes flatout fail.

If you will only be doing gaming, consider an i5 6600K with a z170 board (gigabyte has the z170 d3 for ~$100), that will be better for most games, especially with an easy overclock (low 4GHz range)
