First Build | Feedback?

[TacoDreams]

Well, I plan on building my first PC here soon around the Black Friday/Christmas time & I thought i'd post it here to hear people's feedback.

Updated: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/bzfQkL

 

Budget Wise: I'm hoping that some of my selected parts will go on sale & will help keep the cost around $2,000.

 

Purpose: Mostly gaming & HOPEFULLY streaming.

 

Monitors: I was looking at the ASUS RoG Swift PG278Q since I'll have enough horsepower to run it comfortably & also because it's on sale.

BUT, I have been doing a bit of research & one thing that I have been seeing a lot of, is that the quality control is very poor.

 

Peripherals: I'm still looking to see what I really want in a keyboard & mouse, but I at least know that I will most likely go with Cherry MX Browns.

I'd recommend a Z170 board to take advantage of the overclocking abilities inherent in your i7-6700K unlocked CPU.

 

A more powerful PSU may be in order in case you want to expand a little.

The performance per dollar version if  you wanted more bang for your buck

I updated the parts list a bit.

 

I believe an XFX or SeaSonic PSU would offer a better value.
