Pre build PC

[Afp1995]

Hello
I am considering buying a pre build PC, which is currently on sale.
Build:
i5 6600 (4x 3,3 ghz - 3,9 ghz)
ASUS strix 4GB GTX970
240 GB SSD Sandisk PLUS
16 GB DDR4 Kingston Hyperx Fury 2133
ASUS B150M-A Motherboard
550W 80+ XFX Pro series Seasonic Power Supply

I have the opportunity to customize the build and I was thinking the weakest link is the motherboard and the power supply. I want to have the choice to upgrade the build later to double GTX970. But i don't think the motherboard supports it + the power supply is too low.

The build costs $1.135 without customization.
I can switch the mother board to:
- ASUS Z170-A (SLI support) $60
-ASUS Z170-K $44

I switch the power supply to:
650W G650M Coolermaster $30
850W XFX Pro series $44

I want to ask if i should switch the parts so I am able to upgrade later, and if the computer is worth its price? And should i switch to a 250 GB Samsung EVO for $44 more?

Thanks in advance!

This pre-build is a little overpriced, you should make your own on PcPartpicker.

That's not a bad price for the prebuild. I would stick with the included motherboard unless you intend to use SLI in the future. If you do, then I would also opt for the 850 watt XFX PSU. I don't thin the Samsung 850 EVO is worth the extra 44, even though it's a little better SSD. If you built it yourself:
