If you won't do sli, that would be a very good build then.

It's good but your mobo doesn't support sli.

Since this is a new, from the scratch build, why not go for dd4? Price difference is not extremely material.

Yes. Since you are building from the scratch, skylake is the best option. Few years from now, you may not find replacement compatible with 1150 - you would end up building entire new rig = very costly.

YES! I try to use PCpartpicker when I build. It really helps.

Supposing you are to upgrade your system and you already have a ddr3 memory stick, would you buy the asus z97 pro gamer or the asus z170 pro gamer mobo (my cpu will be either 4690k or skylake 6600k depending on the mobo)? The price premium will be $150 if you choose skylake, including new 8gb...

Supposing you are to upgrade your system and you already have a ddr3 memory stick, would you buy the z97 or z170 mobo (haswell k or skylake k)? The price premium will be $150 if you choose skylake, including new 8gb dd4 memory. Is it worth it? The build will be used mostly for gaming like CoD...

@little_me and USAFRet : Thank you. Will do your advise.

@getochkn: Thank you. I'll just install it directly to standoff.

I am trying to build a new desktop. I don't know if it is a good idea to put an anti-static bag under the motherboard when I install it to the case. I just think maybe it will reduce static electricity. My case has standoff but I just think maybe it is possible. What do you think guys? Thanks.

@americanbryan: I see the speaker header but it doesn't have internal speaker. I'll find one. Thanks.

Thank you americanbrian. I'll look at it asap. I'll try to find vendors of that internal speaker too.
