Hi guys, I am a first time pc builder, and decided to build my own rig for gaming, with a budget of 2k. I did some research, and came up with the following build:

ASUS B150 Pro Gaming D3
Intel Core i5 6600
G.Skill RipJawX 1866 Mhz CL9 16Gb DDR3 kit
MSI GTX970 Armor 4GB
Crucial BX100 250GB SSD
1TB Seagate 7200rpm HDD
ASUS DVD writer
Corsair CX500M Modular 500W 80+ Bronze
TP-Link WDN4800 dual band Wifi-N PCI-E adapter
Corsair Carbide 200R ATX Case

I am not sure if all the parts are compatible, or if the power supply is enough to power all the components. Can the experienced builders give me some advice please? Much appreciated! :)

$1.5K is enough to get everything you need up there, with same aesthetics but better quality parts.
