Feedback please, thanks for any input.

 

Used for 1080p gaming, needs to last for around 3 years,

I'd add an SSD, change gpu for 390 and get a cheaper motherboard.

you should really really go cheaper on the motherboard, also if you are gaming skylake cpu's are mostly a waste.

Last around 3 years?

Please don't buy into the concept of futureproofing.

 

Also please get an SSD.

Made it more expensive (by a little) by adding an SSD and making the rad bigger c:

980 > 390

• You're missing an SSD, and from a high-end build like this, I feel like you'd be really missing out. Throw in an 850 EVO 250GB.
• The GTX 980 falls between the 970 and 980TI at a terrible pricepoint, and is often not worth the purchase. However, I cannot seem to find a comparable card at the same price point in CAD.

Otherwise, I think it looks great!

WD Blue, R9-390X, cheaper MSI board, buy a SSD.

True, but it IS better value

Skylake, especially the 6600k, are fine for gaming, and it's actually what they're designed for. (Compared to something like X99) Might you be thinking of X99?

saves money, allows for overclocking and performs just as well. with the saved money you coud buy a 480gb ssd
