It is going to be used for gaming at 1080p mainly.

I plan to use the GTX 1060 when it releases.

Very good build but I would get windows 10 off of reddit for pretty cheap.

No need for z170 mobo with that cpu unless you want to have future proof,but it's kinda not expensive so why not

I was thinking about future proofing and it was cheaper than most H170 motherboards, so that was my thinking.

Kaby Lake probably will require a new chipset, so the current tier won't receive any newer CPUs. In 2-3 years if you decide to upgrade, AMD with Zen has hopefully kicked the CPU game up again and sticking with an older design might be big bottleneck (just speculating). I would suggest going with a simple H110 or B150 if you don't plan on overclocking. Save some money.

 

Also as suggested, get W10 off of Reddit or G2a etc ... for only sub $20.

Well I got it (motherboard) for $83. So not that bad and cheaper than most H170 boards.
