A friend donated some leftovers to me, notably a CM Storm Scout 2

The screen, keyboard and mouse will be nabbed from the Mac Mini, which will then be wiped and donated to my father.
Now, to stuff it with cool hardware. I have placed an order for the following:
ASUS Z170 PRO GAMING, Socket-1151, because it seems silly to jump into it with anything but the newest chipset, and this was a decent price.
Intel Core i5-6600K Skylake Bundle, should be more than enough oomph for me, and after using a Core M 0.8 GHz CPU in my laptop for a year, I know I won't believe the speed.
HyperX Fury DDR4 2133MHz 16GB kit (2x8GB), leaving two slots open for future expansion.
Corsair CX 750M, 750W PSU, because this is apparently not the part to cheap out on.
Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD, I'll be damned if I allow this to be my bottleneck.
Seagate Barracuda® 3TB, or if I run out of space.
Samsung DVD Writer, SH-224FB, cheapest they had in stock. I don't expect to use it much, but you never know.
The package left today and I expect it to cross my doorstep on Tuesday.
Almost afraid to ask, but does anyone see problems with this setup?

Did not know about the PSU, hoping I didn't go overboard with it. My thinking was simply that I sure as hell wouldn't want one too weak for any future upgrades.

My friend's old GPU seems completely dead. Screen was black on boot, and when I plugged the screen cable straight into the motherboard, BIOS don't even register the card. Bit sad, but it was really old. Intel graphics a while more then.
Now I have finally set up Fedora properly, calling it a day. Yay!
