Advise needed on build

[LeonHauptmann]

Hey guys. I want to step up from my dad's i3/Radeon 6450/4GB work station which can (almost!) hold 30 FPS on literally the lowest settings, render distance and 1024x768p resolution in Bad Company 2, to name an example. I want to build my very first pc which is capable of FullHD 60 FPS gaming while trying to keep it under 1400€, including monitor. So far this is what I figured out -
 
i5-7400
Z270 FTW K
EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB GAMING (blower)
HyperX Fury DDR4-2133 2x4GB
HyperX Fury 2.5" 120GB SSD
Barracuda 3.5" 2TB 7.2kRPM
Samsung SE-208GB/RSDBE external optical drive
EVGA 500W Non-Modular
DG-84 case
Asus PA238QR 23" 1920x1080
Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit
 
However all that costs about 1600€ on computeruniverse.net/mindfactory.de, which are the only dealers I will purchase from. I wanted to center my build around the i5-4460 first but I couldn't find any decent mainboards for it. Scrapped that, looked at some 6th-gen Skylake i5's but price for 7400 3.0 GHz dropped to 200€, which is great for a 3.0GHz (at least in Germany, ha-ha.) . But, as it turns out and everybody here may know, some Z170 mainboards require a BIOS update before using Kaby-Lake's, and I'm not willing to run the risk of needing to update using a second CPU. I couldn't find any compability notes on EVGA's Z170 mainboards and Kaby-Lake CPUs (I've read about other manufacturers releasing Kaby-Lake-compatible Z170 mainboards). The price difference between the Z170 FTW and Z270 FTW is 50€, which is quite considerate, considering my budget
 
So, any suggestions? Should I just go with a Skylake CPU?
 
Also, will I need additional case fans? "As far as I remember" the DG-84 comes with 2 fans in the back, 1 uptop and 1 in the front panel.
 
Thanks in advance, and please don't beat me to death if I posted in the wrong forum section.

That looks fine however save some money by getting a H270 or B250 motherboard.

Thanks, I kinda assumed z170/z270 are the only ones for Kaby-Lake, wonder why EVGA only makes z170/z270 (and x99) chipset mainboards.

For the CPU you have chosen you don't need a 'Z' motherboard.

I'm comfortable with it and it runs most of my games. Old games.

Did you just recommend a prebuilt PC?

This just doesn't make any sense....

Get a 7700 and the AsRock B250 Pro4... You will get MUCH better performance!

Fantastic way to get explored since for 220 euro cheaper you can get an extremely superior rig

You forgot that he included a screen in the price " Asus PA238QR 23" 1920x1080 "

+ is he acceptable to change the case?

I'll rethink the case...PSU and OS price isn't specified however. +200€? (Yes, W7 is 150€.)

 

EDIT: Yea, and the monitor. Why the 1080 though if I can get the 1060 for half the price?

There still is 220 euros left in budget to get a 2560x1080p panel

He can have whatever case he wants the whole point of building a PC is putting what you like together ALLIED to the best cost to performance you can put together.

 

When we give a build suggestion is not for him to blindly do it, but rather expand his horizon of possibilities and combinations.

Is there any relevance to plug n play or XMP DIMM's if I can manually set the clock speed? These are the sticks im going with. Kingston HyperX HX421C14FBK2/8
