retry on the build help needed

-you cannot overclock on a H170 motherboard. I suggest dropping down to a i5 6500 or getting a Z170 motherboard instead.

 

-120GB is not that much in terms of capacity. A 1TB HDD as mass storage is a good idea.

 

-the GPU is a terrible buy. Get the RX 470 or RX 480 4GB instead.

 

-power supply could be better. I suggest picking up an Antec High Current Gamer 520M for a bit more.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

Then get the i5 6500. With the money saved, you might be able to pick up an aftermarket RX 480 8GB or GTX 1060.
