Hi, i'm going to build a desktop pc for gaming.
the following is the hardware i choosed

INTEL INTEL CPU SKYLAKE, CORE I5-6500, 4 CORE, 3,20GHZ, SOCKET FCLGA1151, 6MB CA
MSI Z170A KRAIT GAMING - SOCKET 1151 - CHIPSET Z170
ASUS STRIX GEFORCE GTX 960 DC2OC 4GB GAMING
Corsair CMK8GX4M1A2666C16 Vengeance LPX Kit 1x8 GB DDR4, 2666 MHz, CL16 XMP 2.0
Corsair CX600M, ATX/EPS CXM600 Watt 80 Plus, Bronze
SSD Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SATA 3 2,5" MZ-75E250B

Is it ok? i mean there is something that should i change?
PS: i have already got case/tower (the box in which i'll put the pc :) )
PPS: i have also another HDD, i'll use it as secondary partition, and the ssd as primary.
Thanks 😀
(My budget is around 750 Euro)

No problem. Do you have a case, operating system and optical drive already, or do you not need some of those? If you have a case already, is it an ATX or micro-ATX case?


Actually, it looks like PCPartpicker doesn't show much availability at all on Skylake components for Amazon Italia or Ebay. Mostly Haswell Refresh, which is fine. Performance is nearly identical anyhow, as discussed earlier in the thread. The only real difference is on the Z170 boards there are more PCIe lanes available for use with graphics cards, M.2 and PCI storage devices and other add in cards, and the use of DDR4. DDR4 really isn't any faster than comparable DDR3, but going forward all boards are going to use DDR4 so if you don't want to have to buy memory AGAIN...

the case is ATX, already own Windows 10 (Student license), the optical drive and the HDD(both from current PC, the hdd is 7200 rpm so i don't have to replace it).

Well, like I said, PCPP doesn't show a whole lot of availability on Italian sites for Skylake hardware, you may find better selection on your own, but from what I DO see, this looks like the best bang for the buck on those last two components, and then with what you already had decided on earlier.
