I am building a new gaming computer, and looking for high performance. I would like some people who would like to, A. review that everything is compatible and works well and has enough power and B. Just opinions if I should switch out different parts or not. I am taking stuff from my current computer to my new one so I will put what I am carrying over in a separate section:

Parts I am going to buy:
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 SC GAMING ACX 3.0, 08G-P4-6173-KR, 8GB GDDR5, LED, DX12 OSD Support (PXOC)

Motherboard: ASRock Z170 Pro4S LGA 1151 Intel Z170 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Intel Z170 Platform Desktop Memory Model F4-3200C16D-16GVK

CPU: Intel Core i7-6700K Skylake Quad-Core 4.0 GHz LGA 1151 91W BX80662I76700K Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 530

Tower: DIYPC Gamemax-BK Black Dual USB 3.0 ATX Full Tower Gaming Computer Case (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16811353064)

Parts I plan on carrying over:
CPU Cooler: Hydro Series™ H55 Quiet CPU Cooler

PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 850B2 850 Watt Bronze Modular ATX 12V Power Supply

HDD and CD Drive are also being carried over, but it didn't seem important to include them.

So again, if anyone is willing to review it, and respectively criticize it then please to, but most definitely make sure I didn't miss something when I checked the compatibility of everything.

I would definitely get a better z170 motherboard. You could probably drop to an i5 6600k and not even notice. Make sure you don't overpay for the RAM and video card. That RAM should be $75-80 and that video card should be around $400 at the most.
