Upgrading to skylake

[morbidman]

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to upgrade my CPU, motherboard and memory from a 2500k in a p67 motherboard with 16gb. I've taken a look at the stickies and some of the more recent posts and am interested in upgrading to a skylake processor.
For reference, I currently have a 780 GTX, 1TB WD Black HD and a 650W power supply. I am also running an OEM copy of windows that I will need to replace (I think). Would the following parts be a suitable fit for the components I do not plan on replacing?

Intel Core i5-6600K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor/Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - CPU Cooler with 120 mm PWM Fan
GIGABYTE GA-Z170-HD3P (rev. 1.0) LGA 1151 Intel Z170 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2666 Memory
Microsoft Windows 10 Home - 64-bit - OEM

Thanks!

Yep, those should work nicely.

You might consider this RAM for its lower latency, or this RAM for its higher clockspeed, but the difference will be pretty minor overall.

If you're going to upgrade and re-install Windows, you really should take the opportunity to add an SSD to your system.

Your single best bang for the buck upgrade would be to get a SSD...

Thanks guys. I will look at getting an SSD, but the main reason why I am upgrading is because I think my motherboard is dying (started a post in computer help about it). My monitor goes blank sometimes when I play fallout. Not sure if it's due to temperature or even if my PSU is dying (going to check this weekend if this is the case), but I thought it was about time to refresh my computer since it has been about 4 years. Thanks again.

Just upgraded my 2700k home pc as i was getting bored of it, didn't expect too much, was going to do Haswell, but got so lazy i just sold the parts for what i got it for. Man Heroes of the storm runs like butter with the same vid card.
