The build is not bad. there is room for savings though. Of course getting the z170 is your best bet, but if you don't plan on overclocking or dong anything extreme, then bumping down to a i5-6500/b150 could save some money. $90 for RAM is a bit too much for me, You can save $10 on getting G Skill, but nothing really major about that. There are cheaper motherboards (Gigabyte and MSI come to mind) with the Z170 chipset. And to save a quick $20, do you really need a DVD drive?

Looks good to me. I have the same CPU/mobo combo with the same card, only its 1070, and it runs great. Someone will probably tell you you're PSU stinks though. I'm not sure why but everyone says the PSU on every build stinks.

*edit*
I've done the research and while there's plenty of cheaper motherboards out there ASUS rates the highest in every single review I've read which is why I went with that board.

My opinion would be, if you don't think your gonna need 16GB, maybe settle for something between 8-12. And if you already have a TV, then maybe a separate monitor could wait? (If money is an issue).

I'm with Herc on the DVD drive question... you've ordered a USB version of windows.... isn't that the only thing people use a DVD drive for now that Windows has discontinued support for playing DVDs/Blue-Rays within windows media player (you have to buy a player now)?

I'd strongly recommend looking at the ASRock Fatal1ty Z170 Gaming K4 motherboard I've built a few systems with them and I really like them and they're about 30$ less than what you've got in there.

So I do not have TV or monitor because I've been using laptop and I am building or trying to find a website that are decent about price range 1200-1500 including monitor..please help and thank you so much I will be playing over watch and league of legends while streaming..if possible on full option (highest settjng) and no i do not need a DVD PLAYER I thought that it was a requirement I have never built before so..

Well you should be able to play (and probably stream) League and Overwatch on the high settings for sure, and if you want to save any money (and considering your price range your probably fine), maybe just settle for the stock heatsink that will come with your CPU

 

[apriest8781]

This is what I'd recommend. Saves you a bit on components and it will absolutely run LoL or Overwatch on max settings.

*Edit also upgrades to using the M.2 interface for your SSD which is faster and overall better.

Um the K series don't come with a stock heatsink
