Wish I'd seen this before I went to Amazon! I've ended up with this:

Intel i5-6500 Skylake CPU (not OC - I know...)
MSI Nvidia GTX 970 (this is a bit shorter than other 970s, and will just fit in my case
Gigabyte B150 M - LGA1151 uATX 4x DDR4 PCIE MB
Corsair Vengeance LPX 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) DDR4 2400 Mhz
Corsair Builder Series CXM 750W Modular 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX/EPS PSU

Going in a Cooler Master Silencio case with a 250gb SSD and Windows 10.

This will double as a HTPC, and will be used on a 49" 1080p TV. I only really play adventure/RPGs, and never online. Got sick of the consoles piling up, thought a PC would be easier to update.

Your thoughts please?
