Can't spend any more, and I don't really see the point in an SSD for those "insane boot times woah!"

get a cheaper motherboard, there's less of a point in getting an overkill motherboard than an ssd, and use the money saved on an ssd. also, change to a cheaper 1x8gb of ram, that kit's price seems abit high for 8gb.

That's the cheapest Z170 board I could find, and it supports overclocking + it fits well with the red/black theme

Also: the RAM is way cheaper where i'm ordering it

there are WAY cheaper motherboards that support overclocking, and one of them has a good red/black theme.

In my country the RAM isn't available and the motherboard you linked me is equally expensive as the one I picked. Thanks for helping me though!

Perfect build. Same as i would have :) I would suggest adding a SSD if you have money but if you don't have then you can add it later.

the 

MSI Z170A TOMAHAWK 

and

Gigabyte GA-Z170-Gaming K3

are both cheaper though, are they similar to my motherboard?

Thanks! I'll pick up an SSD later together with a better cooler if i'm ever getting serious about overclocking :)

1.You need to tell us where you live 2.You need to state your budget since maybe for the same we can find better maybe?

 

I would highly advise 16gb and a SSD

Alright. My Budget is 1000 euros and I live in the netherlands where the RX480 still is 400$ US.

Why do I need 16gb of RAM? isn't that a bit overkill unless I wanna go with a ramdisk
