I am debating on which board I should buy. I'm using a i5 6600 processor and a MSI GTX 980 GPU. The price difference doesn't matter for me. I'm just curious on the differences and which motherboard I should purchase. My setup is mainly for gaming. Thanks!

My case is the Noctis 450 and my motherboard is the MSI Z170 Gaming Pro

I am looking into getting this air cooler, but I'm worried that it'll diminish the aesthetics of the build, my set up has a window and I was curious to anyone who owns this cooler, does it block out anything, I know it goes over the RAM slots. I just don't want it to be so big it'll be a distraction to the rest of my build. If that is the case, would the Dark Rock Tf be another option. Or are there any other recommendations for air coolers. I would like them to be aesthetically pleasing, personally I don't like the look of the Noctua. My build colors are red and black. Thanks!

In my system I'm going to have an Intel i5 6600k. I don't want a liquid cooler for many reasons. I want a air cooler, my price range is less than $80. All suggestions are appriciated. Thanks!

I am curious on which graphics card to buy. I am not a hardcore gamer by any standards, but looking to get into it. This build will be mainly for gaming but on the side schoolwork. This is the rest of my build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3MkwRB Any advice is appriciated, thanks!

and my budget is less than 400

Whoops, the GTX 970 is the MSI NVIDIA
