Hi guys!

Okay, I think this might be it! :)

MOBO: ASUS Z170 PRO GAMING
RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury DDR4-2133 DC - 16GB
GPU: GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1070 G1 GAMING 8GB
CPU: Intel Core i5-6600 Skylake - 3.3 GHz
PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G2 - 650W PSU

The reason why I chosed the GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1070 G1 GAMING 8GB is that I'm planning to get a 1080p 144Hz monitor (currently have a 1080p 60Hz) and I'm also thinking of the future.

What do you guys think? It could be cool with some advice! :)

Thanks in advance! :)

I take it you are a bit new :) Don't worry, we're not like the CSGO community :)
The i5 6600 automatically boosts some/all of its cores to 3.9GHz, if there is thermal headroom (Don't worry about this) and you need the extra power. This is turbo boost 2.0 taking affect.

That board looks really decent, however i'd wait for a more expert opinion, someone from the motherboards section should be over soon. I usually buy the cheapest in the chipset range, however i'm a bit of a budget freak :~ The board itself if very nice, and will serve you well :)
Thats cool, but if you are going with a Z170 board, you might as well go with the i5 6600k. If you aren't interested in overclocking, I recommend either a B150 (preferably from Asrock) or a H170 (Gigabyte or ASUS have the best H170s). There's no point in getting a Z170 if you don't have an unlocked multiplier - you might as well save some cash. But if you do chose the unlocked route, you can get some serious performance gains with a decent cooler :)
