ok, so i have a psu, ssd, hdd, mouse, and headset, in case you thought i was crazy.

I was going to get this build when the 1070 decreased in price, but people are saying that it will take a long time so i said screw it why don't i wait until black friday and get the 1080 along with a better motherboard. I really don't want to be screwed because this pc breaks since i wont be able to upgrade it. Can anyone recommend a good motherboard and also if this is a good idea
 
Solution
The pc biuld you have set will be good for few years. Only thing would be gpu to update in 2 years. Thats standard though i got 980ti last year and needs upgrade.
As for black friday deals and cyber monday i wouldnt hang around. They are specific deals for specific parts. I would say they would go onto last gen but not this gen of gpu. Even if they did it would be prob 50 bucks cheaper for ya. Is 50 worth the wait?
"I'm doing legit stuff, I bought it from Kinguin". Kinguin and G2A are both grey market sites. It's never 100% legit.

Anyway, back to your build. If you really want to future proof, I'd plunk down the extra funds for a 1080, you won't regret it.
Motherboard is pretty standard for an i7 6700k build. I'd invest in an Asus Maximus Formula though if you're wanting something really solid.

Then again, I don't much care for MSI. I find their stuff breaks within a couple of years.
 

do you think black friday or cyber monday would help at all or should i just buy this build now instead of wasting time. Also the maximus formula is really damn expensive, how much of a difference will it make?
