All I'll add is I'm not sure why a 960 with an i7 and a z97 mobo. I didn't read much into the thread to see if you do hard gaming or not.

Things I'd change - Drop the thermaltake 850 for something cheaper and around a 500w if the 960 is all you're going to run. It'll be plenty to handle what you're throwing at it. 550 or 600 if you're just needing peace of mind.

Aw, just go hang out on reddit/r/buildapc and then go to pcpartpicker.com and build from there. Try it. I guarantee you'll end up spending less money and get a better build.

FWIW - here's what I just built with my two sons today.

i3-6100 - Skylake
MSI Z170-A Pro
G.Skill DDR4 2800 (8) GB
Seagate 1TB HDD
EVGA 500W Bronze PSU
R9 380 4GB

Should run almost every title at 45-100+ fps on high and ultra settings. Locked Skylake processors can now be overclocked as well.
