Could you please make that easier to read or put them into PCPartPicker or something? I'm having trouble reading this. From the looks of it, you have way too much ram and an overkill PSU.
PSU should be 500-550w, case should be much cheaper, get a newer motherboard, say the Z77A-G43, half the RAM, cheaper HDD, and the graphics card is good, but with the money saved from the downgrades I said you could probably get a 7870.

I've been informed that this is not a good build from a person on a different forum.
Any help on how to balance the build is greatly appreciated.

Thank you all for the advice.
why is it bad to have too much RAM? I can probably change the PSU to a 600W
i5 6600k 4.6ghz / MSI 280X / 8Gb 2666 DDR4 / Gigabyte Z170X-UD5 / TX550M / 500Gb 850 EVO / NZXT S340 / Corsair K65 / Corsair M60
what advantages does the Z77A-G43 have over the one I'm getting now?
He could also drop the SSD for a 670.
It's not too expensive.
