Hi,
I haven't build computers since High school so please be tolerant.
I don't want change case so rest of components have to fit there.
My biggest worries are about CPU cooling because there is not many options.
I know only about Silverstone which I have here and Noctua NH-L9I, interesting one is Scythe Big Shuriken 2 Rev.B as well but this one I don't think will fit on motherboard because of the voltage daughtercard.
In this Silverstone case there is only 58mm clearance for cpu. Or other option will be to use Gigabyte GA-Z170N-Gaming 5 motherboard which should fit Scythe Big Shuriken but I'm not a fan of changing motherboard.
Please help
My specs:
CPU: Intel Core i5-6600K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor (£197.94 @ Aria PC)
CPU Cooler: Silverstone AR06 40.2 CFM CPU Cooler (£29.99)
Motherboard: Asus MAXIMUS VIII IMPACT Mini ITX LGA1151 Motherboard (£184.08 @ More Computers)
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory (£73.98 @ Amazon UK)
Storage: Samsung 850 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive (£56.94 @ Amazon UK)
Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 970 4GB WINDFORCE Video Card (£269.99 @ Aria PC)
Case: Silverstone RVZ02B HTPC Case (£86.59 @ Overclockers.co.uk)
Power Supply: Silverstone 600W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular SFX Power Supply (£105.50 @ CCL Computers)
Total: £1005.01

Solution
You said "living room" computer, most people that use that name want a pretty basic system for videos and web browsing. If you are just looking for a gaming system in a smaller case, then your build is fine, but I'd skip the K model and a fancy overclocking cooler and not bother overclocking when using a small case.
