Just wanna get an expert opinion. I have a guy building my next gaming rig and just wanna see if the specs are up to par. I wanna have a future proof AAA gaming system. So here are the specs tell me what you think.

Intel i5 6600k
Msi B150m bazooka mobo
Msi GeForce GTX 960 4gb
Hyper X 8gb ddr4
ADATA ssd 256gb
WD hdd 1TB
Corsair CX 500w
 
Thats a nice set up. You might want want to get a gtx 970 or r9 390 to achieve those solid 60fps at 1080p ultra (i personally would go for a r9 390).

If you plan to sli or crossfire you might wanna get a different motherboard now because that mobo doesnt support it. But you should really get one powerful card and not two lower tier ones.

The psu is alright well known for being unstable and generally being a poor psu. You should get a nice good quality psu.

Aim for tier 2 or 1 psus and you'll be fine
 
There are better graphics cards for just a bit more money. A 1TB will be plenty with that 256gb ssd. However, I wouldn't use that power supply. It is one of Corsair's cheaper, budget models.
