Will this work?

[Spicydisco]

I just need a second opinion, if ive read and researched everything correctly everything here (expect gpu) should work together right? I know an i5 is better for a z170 board but this should work for a cheaper option if im correct. Can anyone help please and thank you

Absolutely, that all looks good compatibility-wise. You'll want to double-check that the 6100 doesn't already come with a stock cooler, though, because you can save yourself $19.75 if it does (I'm reasonably sure it does). Unless you need one for some other purpose?

Thanks for the tip, I had no idea. Makes sense why the box is so big

Im also looking at a Asus Geforce Gtx 1060 Turbo Series for GPu any thoughts on that?

Why an i3 on a Z170 mobo? You can't overclock it so get the cheapest one that supports it. Also, a 550W PSU is completely fine. 

[gtx1060=value]

also, you don't need a 750 watt psu unless you plan on sli 1080 anytime soon

I was looking at is price wise, ive been told an i5 would be better

Cheaper motherboard = More budget for i5-6400 or 6500.

650W is enough for 1080 SLI.

That'd be fine on a 450W PSU.
