You are bound to 2666MHz with this board, and the CPU is noticeably slower in rendering. I doubt there's any gaming performance advantage either since it's a locked part and do not benefit from high frequency potentials the unlocked SKUs do.

Now this is confusing, why the 2060S when 2070 cost $10 more? I know the performance difference (in CUDA cores, ignoring frequency difference) is also small, but at least more than that $10.

 

Dont forget case fans, the case you chose only comes with 1 120mm rear exhaust fan and it can still hold 5 more 140mm or 120mm fans in the front and top. At least add two extra fans.

The fans are not in the buy order since I have already some fans. The more I look at it might just take the jump and go AMD with the 2070
