Hi guys, I've got my specs and can share some advice on how far you can go. Your CPU is an i5 6600k, you have a stock cooler that's affordable, so you'll get the Evo model but for now this setup works. Your RAM is Corsair Vengeance 8 GB DDR4, your storage is a Gigabyte Z170 HD3P, and your case is a CM690iii.

Wait for the evo, while you do that read the stickies and ask questions about them.

According to my understanding, Enhance is a manufacturer for Corsair, Super Flower and various PSU brands. They do not promote their own brand name. Their components are also present in PSUs with varying levels of quality.

From what I can gather, I wouldn't rely on that PSU. Its MTBF is only tested at 25° C, while most decent PSUs are tested at 40° C. Combined with just a one-year warranty and some questionable ampere ratings, I'm already wary. It should handle your setup, but I wouldn't recommend overclocking it on an almost unknown power supply.
