Yeah, but what do you plan on using it for? A locked cpu with a Z board is kind pointless, so is an aftermarket cooler.

i dont really understand what a locked cpu is and im using it for gaming.

It doesn't have the K next to it, so it can't be overclocked, which is why you'd want to get a Z board.

A locked cpu is one that generally can't be overclocked. The unlocked cpu's have a 'k' at the end i.e i7 6700K

 

Also 32GB Ram is massive overkill if you are just gaming.

so which board would you recommend with that cpu

The PSU isn't good, get something like a Corsair AX760, which is appropriate considering you're spending this much money, also if you're getting a Z170 board... Get a 6700k.

Do you want to be able to add a 2nd 980 ti in the future ?

Are you serious ? The EVGA G2 is a fantastic power supply.

Didn't notice it was a G2! Sorry about that, I have endless respect for those.

If you want the option then you would need to stick with a Z170 board that supports SLI (SLI means that it will support 2 or more Nvidia graphics cards). The Asus Z170-A supports SLI.

 

If you don't want to overclock the cpu but want the option for a 2nd 980 ti then stick with the Asus board, or any other that supports 2 way SLI.

Well in that case you might as well.

 

If this is a pure gaming pc though you could go with an i5 (such as the i5 6500). You could always upgrade to an i7 in the future.

Kingston HyperX Ram is good. I have some of the older DDR3 Fury in my own pc.
