http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/skqTWX Might get another gtx 1070 one day hence the z170 chipset. 

If you're gonna get a Z170, might as well get an i7-6700K and overclock it. They're 30 quid more than the 6700. http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/tdmxFT/intel-cpu-bx80662i76700k

 

Also get a good aftermarket cooler like Deepcool Gammaxx 400 or Be quiet! Shadow Rock Slim

I see. Honestly, you'd get better performance out of an overclocked i5-6600K than the stock i7. Something like this.

Hmm. I guess you're fine then. At least go into your BIOS and turn on XMP for your memory.

I gotcha. Honestly though, you should get the i5 6600K, and then not overclock it until you feel confident. That way you're leaving yourself with the option of overclocking as soon as you feel like doing so.

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. The arctic will cool it just fine if you don't OC.
