Alright, so I think i'm happy with this now. I also included the keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers and mic I already use just to share everything. Decided against the bluetooth/wifi, lowered the wattage of my PSU, upgraded my SSD from 500GB to 1TB, changed the case and added a few fans. The only thing I have anny second thoughts about is maybe going with water cooling. I honestly don't know how much OC i'll be doing. So, outside of that, I feel pretty good about this. Take a look.

Well, I also wish to have bluetooth capability. Which I believe this one has.

Overwatch, TF2, Elite Dangerous, Skyrim, Fallout, Borderlands, Far Cry, GTA, CoD, CSGO, Rocket League, XCOM, Dark Souls, Doom, etc. The Z170-A comes with a RJ45 jack. I added the wifi as a safety net, NOT as my main connection. I'd prefer to not use it, but would rather have it than not.

As far as ethernet goes, I would prefer to plug straight in (which I believe is on the motherboard), but in case that's not possible WiFi would have to do. It's more for a safety net than anything else.

I want the SSD, but I need the storage of a HDD. I currently have a 4TB external HDD 3/4 full with music and movies.

I'm comfortable with 7, but I hear 10 has gotten a lot better. Maybe I'll make the switch.

Howdy! Long time watcher of LTT. Enjoyed lots of guidance from the channel and this community. I'm ready to finally plunge myself into the dark art of PC building, but would like some guidance. I do quite a decent amount of gaming and i'm also intending on making a channel of my own. So, video editing, gaming, streaming and the like will be used on this PC. With that in mind, here is the build I have come up with. Thoughts? Thanks! FYI, I have a monitor.
