1. Why are you using a i5-6600K? Get a i5-7600K to go along with a Z270 mobo.
2. 32GB of ram is good if you're doing video editing. If you're gaming 16GB is sufficient and will save you money to put into the CPU and GPU.
3. A GTX 1050 is sort of wimpy for an overclocked rig. Bump up to a GTX 1060 6GB GPU.
4. A 400W PSU maybe a little on the low side. You may want to consider a 500W PSU.

1. Just because of the reviews I've seen on the two there wasn't much difference according to the benchmarks, save for the price. Do you maybe see it differently?
2. I do enjoy multitasking. Editing music and/or videos, watching videos, and maybe gaming too. Yeah, all at once. What can I saw, I have a short attention span - SQUARLE!! Do you think that's over kill?
3. I didn't know that part. I thought the 1050 was pretty good. Thanks for the tip.
4. I will definitely take you advice on the PSU. i was just trying not to over do it. I thought you were suppose to keep it close to the rigs needs.
Thanks for the feed back.

you gain 4 pcie lanes with the 7600 series cpu

buy a cheaper case, with the extra money buy a rx480 or GTX1060 and a 500w psu

I search long and hard for the right case, for me, and I really like this one. I don't think I can change that part: The space it provides, the understated look, and the fan filters.
I almost pulled the trigger yesterday but I couldn't do it. I'm still tweeting things. I'm thinking a gtx1070, trying to decide on a PSU and for storage; a couple m.2's with no HDD's. oh, also, I'm dropping down the ram to G.Skill Ripjaws V (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2133

I think this increases the speep at which the CPU pcie slots can speak to eachother, but what's the practical applications of this?

The graphics card is killing me!
