Get a cheaper H170 motherboard.
Don't get the cpu cooler.
Get a better psu.
Why a 500GB hdd and a 2TB hdd?

The rest if fine.

 

[Alex_173]

a buddy was giving me the 500 GB hdd as a gift. What is wrong with that psu and any recommendation?

Get the i5 6500 instead to save some cash and improve the psu.

-Go with the cheaper H170 board (though I prefer Gigabyte for mobos)

-The coolermaster heatsink will be good, although not entirely needed since you wont be overclocking.

-Video card is good

-I would suggest going with 16gb of ram since windows alone will eat up over 4gb

- You only need one traditional hard drive. If buying a new one, go with a western digital black series.
- The sandisk ssd is good. Have one of those myself.

- For the PSU, I would go with either SeaSonic (preferable) or Antec. You do not need a 1000W psu either. A good 650 or 750W seasonic will be more than enough. (The gpu requires 300, cpu is 95, the rest is trivial). http://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator

Its a 970 he only needs 500W. Thats why I recommend the Modular SeaSonic 520W.

The Newton Power LTD N1000P was a good psu. It would be fine with a GTX970. It's just a little old now. I haven't seen one in 5 or 6 years at least.
