Hi, im about to build a pc and i wonder if these parts below will fit together.

- Asus z170, socket 1151 motherboard

- WD Desktop black, 1tb 3.5"

- Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 2666MHz 2x8GB

- Intel Core i5-6600K Skylake Processor
Socket-LGA1151, Quad Core 3.5GHz

- ASUS GeForce STRIX GTX 960 2GB

Yep, that will all work just fine.

Although, for about ~$200 more, you could get a brand new GTX 1070, which blows the 960 out of the water.

You will not be able to play newer games with that 960 -especially the 2gb version. Since you are going with all new-gen gear - I would hold out and buy the 1070 -or you will find yourself wanting/needing to replace the card soon.

In fact, some games as of now utilize more then 2 gigs of VRAM already (Shadows of Mordor, to name one off the top of head)
