How dare you clickbait me

 

Its a good build. Although what do you use your PC for? 6700k might be a little overkill, could get by with a 6500 or 6600k.

I don't think I need a better GPu but i so which one? Also whats wrong with the mobo?

the asus z170a is better overall. look at a 1070 as that makes more sense then a 1060 and a i7 6700k

I am panning on gaming on it along with using a very CPu intensive flight sim.

-moved to the correct section and fixed your title-

Solve your own audio issues  |  First Steps with RPi 3  |  Humidity & Condensation  |  Sleep & Hibernation  |  Overclocking RAM  |  Making Backups  |  Displays  |  4K / 8K / 16K / etc.  |  Do I need 80+ Platinum?

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

All that is unecesary. I dont have enough money to afford that. 

grab the better mobo or drop down to a cheap i7 and a cheaper mobo and get a 1070.
