It fits the budget but I hope that price will not fluctuate much  It is kinda close to that $2000.

There ya go, that link works.

Build looks good to me. Out of curiosity, why did you pick the i7?

 

Hyper-threading. I think I mentioned that somewhere in the processor description.

Hopefully MSI likes SFF:

I don't think the motherboard is fitting the rules of the contest. I would have chosen a smaller form factor and the NZXT Manta if that was the case (ha get it).

Why is it not? It's a Z170 board from MSI.

This is mine, hopefully it stays below $2000 until the end of the contest.

It's at $2028.32, at the moment.

You must choose any MSI Z170A GAMING or MSI X99A GAMING motherboard. Your build has a Z170I.

That rules out any other form factor than ATX... That's stupid.

I'm getting a 403 Forbidden error when I click on your link. Make sure it's a public guide and not private.

I took at shot at this, I really like this build. It was a fun little thought excercise and I would love to win this system.

I like the white theme! Nice to see something a little different than all the red builds.

[blastedryan]

I think mine is pretty nice and has some unique parts.

• Eating Frito Lay Cheetos Cheese Snacks, Party Size Crunchy, 17.5 Ounce while using the Logitech G710 Plus Wired Gaming Keyboard is a bad idea. Please don't do it.
• Eating Frito Lay Cheetos Cheese Snacks, Party Size Crunchy, 17.5 Ounce with the same hand that you operate your Logitech G402 Wired Optical Mouse is strongly discouraged.

ROFL!

Whaaaat I didn't even realize that the Krait Gaming was a Z170A. Is it too late or can I change it?

Also, this dude has the exact same build as me but he has 11 upvotes and 30 comments, and I only have 1 upvote. Good one, PCPartPicker. Oh maybe because he put his up before mine. But I have a better case and PSU.

I guess you could delete your current guide and then put up a new one. You just can't have more than one guide.

Yes it is! Very nice.

I wish I could do a green build one of these days. Do you know of any green motherboards?

Gigabyte usually releases a green "Sniper" series motherboard for every new generation. These usually come in an atx and matx form factor, but I havent seen the matx version z170 board yet. My build is a green build  I have an MSI 100ME, it's perfect. I'd love another one though.

I made a guide too. Did everything I could not to follow MSI's desire to have all their builds using red and black.  Hopefully the motherboard is valid for the contest. https://pcpartpicker.com/guide/6Qwrxr/msi-build-your-dream-pc-guide-tuxedo

 

Good luck to everyone on the forums, hopefully one of us can take home the prize.

Check it out! http://pcpartpicker.com/p/C9YYnQ  - And install a custom green loop for cooling.

 

Now if only I had $1533.83

Definitely had fun making it. Kind of sad I couldn't get a Krait to go in but alas, it probably wouldn't have matched the gpu anyway.
