I agree on the psu. Seasonic, XFX, Antec HCG & True Power Classic & Edge, EVGA over 550 watts are all better. Keep the thermal past as the paste on Intel hsfs I don't find adequate. The equivalent i5 6600K is $229 but you need to add hsf as they no longer come with them to that so add $35 and at that point I would rather have the i7 for $50 more. Of course you have to add hsf to the i7 also so I guess the difference is about $80 but personally I would still go with the i7 but that is a decent saving for not too much difference as Chief suggests.
I was thinking about having a machine VR ready in case I wanted to play Oculus or whatever...,
I originally decided to go with a higher cap PSU just in case down the road I wanted to get another video card...,but changed the PSU to
SeaSonic M12II 750W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply
True that psu will allow almost any upgrades you might want to do.
