Few on me and I've just purchased the following:

Intel Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor
Asus Z170-DELUXE ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
G.Skill TridentZ Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3200 Memory
Samsung 850 EVO-Series 500GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Cooler Master Storm Stryker (White) ATX Full Tower Case

Turns out all of that gave me a nose bleed.
I've been looking to build for close on two years & TBH my head is wrecked with changes in tech & proposed future tech coupled with the current extortionate GPU pricing...
I'm gonna purchase a 1070 after the AMD GPU release n subsequent normalization {one hopes} of the Nvidia product.
PSU needed - EVGA SuperNOVA GS 550W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply ?
I've read PCU's only draw whats needed so it would seem prudent to purchase the best price per watt with ample room for expansion? Some same x% more than the systems base requirement, others say x2 it but only with a gold rated PCU - I'm not looking to SLI in the near future so I think this PSU is ok?
I'm also wondering about my cooler system {Cooler Master V8 GTS 82.0 CFM CPU Cooler} - I'm not planing on overclocking any time soon but obv. in the future - if this is sufficient and protests all then that's fine but if water cooling is the way to go I'd appreciate the heads-up - I was looking at the H110 but I'm waiting for my case 1st as ppl have expressed compatibility problems there.
Any & all help/advice is much appreciated ty
 
Wasn't expecting a reply so soon - cheers
Sound I'll aim toward your recommendation - Might I inquire as to your views on my coolant option?

Which H110 are you looking towards? The H110 GTX is the newer model, while the h110i is the old revision.
 


Sorry I didn't spot this/notification until now, in my defense I did have a few on-board that night. I purchased said PSU tho I'm unsure if I'll ever purchase an EVGA product again after dealings with their 'support' - I use that term loosely as I feel it was I who supported them. Astoundingly incompetent in answering a simply concise question reformatted many times and aided with pictures. I wondered & asked if I was been trolled!

Regards CPU Cooler:
As happened I opted for the Kraken X61, which I see now listed in your details. Still waiting for GPU 1070's to 'normalise' & will be purchasing at the latter end of the week regardless.
Thank you for taking the time out to offer assistance/guidance, much appreciated.
Good day to you.
