New i7 6700 Build

[blackjackhaha]

Hi

I am going to build a new pc with the following components :

Intel core i7 6700 (non-k)
16 gb ddr4
z170 motherboard
intel 535 120gb ssd
1tb toshiba hdd
gtx 1060
600w psu

Can anyone gives me some recommendation about the motherboard, graphics card, ram and power supply?

Currently looking at
Gigabyte Z170 Gaming K3 Intel Z170 S1151 DDR4 M.2 USB3.1 ATX
Crucial Ballistix Sport LT DDR4 16GB (2x8GB) DIMM 288-pin 2400 MHz/PC4-19200 CL16 1.2V unbuffered
EVGA 600 W 80+ PC Power Supply Unit - White

The gtx1060 is suppose to came out on 19 july. Do you guys think I should get that one or go for another like gtx 1070 for some extra budget?

My overall budget is around 850gbp.

Thanks a lot. Looking forward for your opinions.

No need to get a Z170 board. I would go with a cheaper H170.

I can't recommend the EVGA 600w. It's not very good and honestly a terrible choice for such an expensive build.

I recommend this plus either the 1060 or 1070 depending on how much you want to spend.

In a 6700 build of my own I opted for a z170. Both connectivity and quality are superior all other chipsets unfortunately. Also since Kaby lake should be supported by this gen mobo I don't see why you should limit your options.

Kaby Lake will also be compatible with the H110, B150, and Q170 motherboards as well. The Z boards offer more connectivity, but quality would be the same as the H170 unless you opt for a high end Z board which has all types of unnecessary bells and whistles.

Yes. But the point was that if you want to upgrade to Kaby lake you would be able to get the K part. And for a new system 30-40$ for a motherboard are money well spent IMO.
