If you're planning to overclock, then that's good. If you're not planning on overclocking, then go with the non-K SKU and ditch the Z170 board and go for an H170 board to save yourself about $50 to $100.

Yeah, I'm planning to overclock, that's why I went with a Z170 board + I want it to be a little more future proof and upgradable

Is it really that necessary? In my opinion RAM doesn't have that big of an influence on performance
