Hello Everyone,

It's finally time for me to build a new PC, and would like to ask if this setup is alright:

CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117561

GPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127955

Mobo: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/Z170A-GAMING-PRO.html#hero-specification

RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231888

PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151095

SSD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147373

To follow when I get to the store: PC Case, CPU Cooler, HDD.

I am using https://tipidpc.com/useritems.php?username=qlt_south to base my prices, as it is a local shop nearby where I live. I intend to buy a 1440p monitor later on to be able to maximize the GTX 1070.

It's a great set up. Just a bad PSU. Get a better PSU because it's the most important component.

GPU: This one has faster clocks! (nice price too)

PSU: One of the cheapest Platinum worth buying!

CPU: if you can give some more bucks you can go with the i7-6700 (better CPU match for the GTX 1070, and it has a much lower TDP of 65W, i5-6600K: 91W )

It's not the K version, so if you wanna overclock go with the i5-6600K as the i7-6700K costs to much.

Those two (PSU+CPU) will cost you only 75 bucks more. I thing worth the price difference.
