Hello, I need advice/opinion on my first gaming pc build. My budget is around 1500$.

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

CPU: Intel Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor ($328.99 @ SuperBiiz)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212X 82.9 CFM CPU Cooler ($39.99 @ Newegg)
Motherboard: MSI Z170A GAMING M7 ATX LGA1151 Motherboard ($199.88 @ OutletPC)
Memory: Patriot Viper 4 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory
Storage: Samsung 950 PRO 256GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive ($195.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Storage: Western Digital WD Purple 1TB 3.5" 5900RPM Internal Hard Drive ($54.75 @ NCIX US)
Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 1070 8GB Video Card ($429.99 @ Newegg)
Case: Corsair Carbide 400Q ATX Mid Tower Case ($98.11 @ Jet)
Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA NEX 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply ($74.88 @ OutletPC)

I was also wondering is it better to take the MSI Z170A GAMING M7 or the M5? Would it make a big difference?

EDIT: I just saw a great build on PCPartPicker, which is better? Mine has a stronger CPU and stuff, but that one has a GTX 1080: http://pcpartpicker.com/guide/J6xFf7/enthusiast-gaming-build?
 
slightly slower drive, a 1080 is on the cards:
