Hello, first time pc builder here, any answers are much appreciated.

1. Is this build okay?

2. Is everything compatible, work good together?

3. Are there any parts that have superior counterparts (Preferably in the same prize range)?

4. Do I have to worry about heat in this build?

5. Better Cases/Coolers/Fans for temperature?

6. Any advice?

If you have anything to add, please do. As any/all advice would be extremely helpful!
and
When it comes to budget I don't really have one, but I don't want to just throw money away...

Amazing on the part selection . I wouldn't change anything. No bottlenecks and your picking a quality motherboard on the Z170 platform that can oc the I7 6700K. Very good brands you choose . If you would like to save some money then I recommend going with the S340 case.
1. Build Is Great
2. Everything Works Together
3. Get what you pay for and you choose the best practically
4. Watercooling should be silent and will keep the build frosty even OC'D.
However the case comes with fans that might be too noisy .
5. Noctua Fans are great but ugly haha
6. Get some case fans like I said before and that's all really. And get some cable sleeving.....

Great list, everything is compatible and you chose great brands. I would not go with the MSI Gaming version of the 1080 because in my personal experience, MSI are not cards that are built to last. EVGA on the other hand, are very durable.

If anything, you could always go a little higher with the motherboard, but from what I've read that one is a decent one.
 


Thanks! I migth switch the case, and I'll definetly check out some cable sleeving!
