Mainly gaming but also a little bit of content creation

Why is the MSI card better? And why the patriot memory?

The FE cards are not worth it over dual-fan cards also I swapped the RAM to 2400MHz RAM due to the fact that the board does not seem to be able to run 2666MHz...

The i7 is probably overkill, i5 6600k would be more than enough. Also you could save some money going with a cheaper z170 mobo. But if it's all within your budget and you like the aesthetics then it'll be a solid build.

The board is mainly for aesthetics yes  Supposed to be Orange/Black build

FE coolers are sh*t with patriot memory...well it's cheaper and unless you're planning to OC the memory (which barely makes a difference), the 10 bucks saved can go towards a pizza or something

FE coolers? Well I went with the G1Gaming mainly because of its looks and same for the black memory..

Fanboy edition, I mean Founders edition...they run very hot and unless you up the fan speeds (which makes it loud) means that it would throttle.

Some tips to revamp the build:

• Water coolers have poor performance to price ratio, they are usually very expensive and air coolers are usually better in some categories.
• This motherboard isn't worth it, even for looks. Who needs a shield when it costs you an additional 100 dollars over other boards.
• With these savings you can get a 1080!

1. I went with an AIO because I want to be able to see my parts. 

2. Then give me another purely black motherboard?

3. I really dont need a 1080 even the 1070 is already slightly overkill

MSI SLI plus, decent board almost 120 dollars cheaper. If you can already afford a 1080 after saving 120 dollars why not get it?

The Z170 Extreme 4 is also a great consideration since it comes with orange accents and comes with a few overclocking features that the MSI SLI Plus doesn't have:
