Im new to pc building and want advice on parts, keep in mind i don't plan on overcloking and are using a 1080p display. Graphics card probably isn't better than any 4gb vram card but its only 20 dollars more and i picked because i dont want to mess with the pc to much after its built for a year or 2. Im using a SSD and an HDD but im not sure and what i should write on the SSD. Thanks a lot for the help

The problem is that this is an nVidia product and scoring any nVidia product a "zero" is also highly predictive of the number of nVidia products the reviewer will receive for review in the future.

You apparently haven't seen his responses to questions on YouTube. He is very condescending and aggressive in his comments with which there is little justification. He acts totally different in his videos. I don't necessarily care for this content style and there is nothing really unique about him or his channel. His endless dick jokes and toilet humor are annoying as well.

What do you mean "really bad IO"?

I couldn't care less about looks. If OP wants, he can pick an ATX motherboard. In that case, there's this: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-motherboard-gaz170hd3

Still significantly cheaper than his choice.

What's wrong with that PSU? It ranks the highest in the PSU Tier list (tier 1/7).

its not a top priority on a mobo but there are people that have more attached to their pc than keyboard and mouse. and then it becomes an issue. i use 9 usb ports without even mentioning usb sticks.

of course z170 makes no sense.

 

it may be a high end one but evga is known for low quality capacitors. i didnt believe it myself at first too but the psu guys have a pretty strong opinion on this

If that is the case with OP, then he/she should let me know. I don't recommend parts based on assumptions.

Like? I'm all in for a correction, I definitely don't want to recommend a bad PSU, but I need words first.

Yeah, I double checked his PSU choice with various lists and reviews. Seems to get glowing recommendations all around. ;)
