TLDR: I chose what i want, is there anything the community could reccomend or suggest that i could choose different pieces.

i dont have an issue but i was hoping to get experts notes on the pieces of hardware that i have chosen. this will be my first pc ive built and itll be a dedicated gaming rig. i'm semi budget building (Under 1,500 USD) so far my list is:

CPU: i5-7600k
GPU: Asus GTX 1060 6gb
RAM: vengeance 2x8gb ddr4 3200
PSU: Rosewill hive 750w 80+ bronze
Mobo: Asrock z270 pro4

So my questions are, is anything being bottlenecked? any recommendations of hardware that i could replace? could this run triple A titles high/max at 1080p? over all rating of the hardware that i have picked out?

thank you in advance mi amigos.

Few words

Build above is the best for gaming on high/ ultra settings @ 1440p (2K) with solid 60+ FPS due to it's i5-7600K CPU (that you can OC) and best GPU for 1440p, a GTX 1070. If you game @ 1080p then this build will last considerably longer than build with GTX 1060 since GTX 1070 is far better GPU,

Build also comes with Win 10 Home DVD and ODD to install it. Oh, wi-fi card with Bluetooth 4.2 is also included. Build theme is black with small touches of red.
