Nahhh, das bad. Don't use DDR3 with Skylake. That PSU is piss poor, and there are far better options for a lower price.

6600 isn't worth the premium over the 6500 tbh. SSD for your OS and a few games/programs.

No, you don't have to spend £70 for DDR4 support. The B150M Mortar is a good board, with some decent features, including XFire support, but if you want to save some money, you can get a cheaper motherboard.

Very lackluster when it comes to features, only 2 DIMM slots so no RAM upgrades without buying a whole new kit, I wouldn't recommend this motherboard at all.

One of these two is what I'd go for. I'd personally spend a little more for the MSI board, or maybe something from Asus, because I like Asus and MSI's BIOS', but AsRock motherboards are still great too, so if you want to save as much money as possible, don't care for XFire support, and don't mind the colour of the AsRock board, that's probably what I'd suggest going for.

Thanks for information, On the case that you chosen its says about storage, I cant see the HDD cage or anywhere to put the hard drive, i can't see any comments about this either, any help?

There's plenty of room in the case for storage, you'll have no problem.
