So i want to start by stating that this is my first build ever, and so i am a little nervous and am curious to hear what the thoughts and opinions of more experienced builders are. I already have the screen and other peripherals figured out thankfully, so its just the actual computer itself that i am uncertain on. Oh and just as a little background, i used various online computer building guides in conjunction with my existing self taught knowledge to create this list/build. Also my budget is right around 1500.00 with a little wiggle room. So without further ado, behold my (hopefully) glorious and magnificent build!

Processor / CPU
Intel Core i7 6700k 4.00 GHz Unlocked Quad Core Skylake Processor

Motherboard
MSI Pro Solution Intel Z170A LGA DDR4 USB 3.1 ATX Motherboard

GPU
Gigabyte Geforce GTX GV-N1080G1 Gaming-8GD Video Graphics Card

RAM
Ballistix Sport LT 16 GB Single DDR4 2400 M/Ts PCH(19200) DIMM 288 - Pin

SSD
PNY CS 1311 420 GB 2.5" SATA III SSD

Case
NZXT Phantom 530 Full Tower

Power Supply
EVGA 650 GQ, 80+ Gold 650W, Semi Modular, EVGA ECO mode

I think most of it is good, but as i said i am curious what you gents and ladies think? I do have a few particular questions/concerns though that i would like to posit to you regarding the Power Supply, RAM, and SSD. The first of which being is, is a 650W power supply sufficent for this build? Secondly are the RAM and SSD i chose good quality, or in other words are the brands reliable? Lastly, the reviews on amazon.com for all these parts are great, but i think reviews can only get you so far and at some point your going to want to ask and talk to experienced builders who already own or have owned said parts.

I would like to thank you in advance for any and all help you guys provide!
 
650W psu is fine for a single gpu setup with room to OC the CPU , I would get a G2 tho its better psu.......
the build looks good. it would help to know what rez monitor you have and are you in the US ( maybe fill this out http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/353572-31-build-upgrade-advice ) and you will get more help.

something along the line of a 1500 budget ( if this is a gaming build ) ?

Can be improved quite a bit. ;)
Features SLI potential, a much stronger cooler, better low profile RAM as the Ripjaws V have clearance issues with the Hyper 212 Evo and potentially the H5 i've listed, and 1TB more storage.
