Im thinking about making my own pc and i was just wondering if these things would be a good start and what more would be needed to finish it off or give it a cheap boost?

You need a Z170 chipset for your skylake.

This build excludes GTX 1080.

Also seems really good, but would like to know if you think that i should buy a 4k 60hz g-sync or just a 1080p 144hz screen could also just maybe get a 1440p with 144hz but wouldnt count on it. Thanks a bunch! :)

I would personally go for 1440P 144hz because i play cs go on a competitive level regularly.

However, if your sole purpose is to do casual gaming and watch movies, etc, and you like bigger screens, a 4k may g-sync may be a better option.

Alright thanks, i mostly play League of Legends. Thanks for all the answer, I just got one more question and that is if all of this would be compatible:

Cpu: Intel Core i7-6700K Skylake
Motherboard: MSI LGA1151 Z170A-G45 GAMING
Gpu: GTX 1080 SLI
Hard drive:Seagate® Desktop SSHD 1TB x2
Memory/ram: HyperX Fury DDR4 2133MHz 8GB kit 2x4GB CL14 x2
Power suppy: Corsair CX750M, 750W PSU
Cpu cooler: Corsair Hydro Series H60 CPU Cooler
Fans: Corsair Air AF120 LED Red, 120mm Fan x7

Does anything have to be changed? Thanks!

Is anything more needed? Anything not compatible? Too many fans? Too little fans? Need better motherboard? And also do i need a soundcard for this motherboard or will it be good?

Thanks again! :)

CX PSUs are poor quality.

No need for sound card unless you have a high quality headphone/headset and you are an audiophile.

Does razer kraken neon pro count as a good headset? Also is this better? EVGA SuperNOVA 850 G2, 850W PSU
Everything else compatible?

The EVGA GS or G2 are excellent quality units.

I believe your built in sound in your motherboard should be sufficient. Motherboard sound used to be poor but nowadays they are mostly good quality, especially since your motherboard is great quality, the sound will be very good.

Alright so all of this should make a pretty good pc without any problems and bottlenecking right? My last question would be what type of case i need? Should i have a mid or full case. Well thats should be it if there is nothing wrong with it and there is no bottlenecking or changes needed like less or something (whatever) so I would like to thank you for all of your time, if there was changes needed i might have some more questions if that is okay with you. :)

You can use any case, as long as it has enough space for SLI and since you want to SLI you would want a good quality case with good air flow.

I would recommend the Fractal R5 since its a quiet, good looking, good air flow mid case.

Thanks a bunch! :) So all that should be compatible?

You listed 2133Mhz rams i see. Change them to 2666 or 3000 Mhz rams.
Buy EVGA G2 or GS power supply. Comes with 10 years of warranty. Even for 2xgtx 1080 in sli, 750W is enough.
If you only play LOL, one 1080 will be enough imo.
I always prefer gigabyte motherboards over others.
