Game rig build. "Dead Inside"

Kithkannin

After a few weeks of research and getting an amazing deal on a Gigabyte Z170-HD3p MoBo (45 BNIB) I have put together a build around it that will be specifically used for gaming. The MoBo will be staying and im thinking the cpu I have chosen will work well. I am open to ideas for better cpu at general price range. The computer is going to be named "Dead Inside" due to having an all white exterior with a all Black interior. Here is the PCPP info please let me know what you think of this build. It will be used for serious gaming and moderate programming (School work) and that is about it.

Wrong link, brings you to your own part list. Gotta export it first.

DO NOT BUY THE V300! Buy something that's faster and more reliable.

I say jiggly-bytes when I see "GB".

It goes down better than you would expect.

If you click on [bb] in your build list window, you can cut and paste a formatted list that is much easier to read on this forum.

 

I would suggest a different ssd, higher capacity if possible. Sandisk and Samsung have mostly black casings. Samsung 850 Evo would look good in the build.

 

EVGA 210-GQ-0650-V1 is a better psu.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.
