Before you look at the part list i want to clear up that i know the CPU is overkill and that i could save money on it. The intent of this system is to be able to upgrade it in the future which is why i have the bigger PSU as well as other things might not be in a budget build. This being said please feel free to comment away with any recommendations specifically with ideas of mid or full tower cases that are cheaper or about the same price. Also remember this is in AUD, thanks in advance.

Nice build.

 

I'd choose AsRock Z170 motherboard for Overclocking capability on non "k" CPUs.

Also changed the PSU to EVGA G2 750W. But the Seasonic is good too.
