The problem is that I don't live in the US so it'll cost more. Btw I don't want the K processors since I won't be overclocking. Also the 1080 is overkill

6700k has higher clock speed. IF you want to save money get H or B mobo please. Why Z?

Overkill and unnecessary for someone who won't OC
 

Not to mention less reliable than the trusty C7

 

But if you do get a AIO, get the Kraken X61 which boasts 7 years warranty.

Nah I disagree.

 

The best OC CPU is the i5-6400 out of which you can easily get a 50% overclock.
