Very first PC build

[Xelnaga]

Hello there, I come from France and was wondering how my very first build is doing on paper. I'm still new to pc building and don't understand every details i should have taken in consideration while choosing this first layout but i watched guides on youtube such as Linus and JayzTwoCents.

 

Now about the pc itself, i wish a solid build, something I can keep (if i dare to say) 10 years, so i thought about taking a good motherboard and CPU that i won't have to change and then ram and GPU that i can keep but eventually change in a few years. 

Now i wanted to ask you if my build would work but also how to adjust it for how I will use it. I am in last year of highschool and i wish after my BAC to game for pretty much the entire holidays but after that, i'll move out to university and won't (at least i don't think i will be able to) be able to take my desktop build with me because i'll be moving around quite frequently after that (work experience). 
The dilemma is i want something very solid to play on but not completely overkill for how i will be using it.

Last thing, links are for french amazon so just take the name of the product, i tried to keep it ordered and when several choices i specified my preference.
If you have other important components or other that i don't have written in my build, feel free to tell me and i'll add it to my list.
 

Thanks a lot for you helping little noob me.
Xelnaga.

 

Ps: The display i took are not good enough for my current build i know i'll have to change that, tell me what you'd choose with this setup

that would a link to make it a little easier for you, idk what ram to take and display is probably bottlenecking me so i will probably take a better one, also for GPU idk what to choose between asus 970 strix 4gb or gtx 1080/1070.

note : on amazon and in € it's way cheaper

Get the 1070 or 1080 over the 970.

And dont get such an expensive motherboard, they dont give any performance increase. Go with the Asus Z170-A. 

Btw are you going to overclock?

 

And for RAM, see if you can find a fairly cheap 2666mhz 2x8GB kit. RAM speed does have some impact on framerate with the new skylake CPUs so.

thanks for the tips, much appreciated

I don't know what exactly overclocking is, and i have no idea how i should build my computer to allow overclocking or what parts to take.

the corsair platinium are really sweet at 3000 Mhz but a little overprice, so i'll probably go with the vengence 2600 or higher in that case.

Overclocking = force parts to run faster than they do out of the box. This can be fairly easily achieved with some trial and error and most parts are made with some overclocking in mind.

Benefits: "Free" performance.

Consequences: Higher strain on components, higher thermals and higher power draw.

 

The parts you have already selected makes it able to overclock, the Z170 motherboard and the i7 6700K (you can overclock you GPU but to do that you don't need any specific parts).

 

If you are not going to overclock you can go with a cheaper cooler, a cheaper non overclockable i7 6700 (non K) and a cheaper H170 motherboard.

Understood, thanks for the explaination ! 

So how would decide/know if i need (or just wish) to have overclocking components ?
