First PC build

[Sir_Pickle]

So after months of research and anxiety about actually spending a sum of money on these parts, I have made a final list. Before making the purchase I thought I'd come here one last time to see if there's any issues with compatibility that I've overlooked, or any obvious choices that I'm oblivious of. I'm super excited to get the parts and start documenting my build. Thanks.

why mini itx when you have an atx case? also, v300 is crap, get the hynix sl308 or crucial mx300 instead.

What's your budget? Looks fine except the SSD

Looks pretty decent, although since you have an ATX case maybe go with an open styled cooler for your 1060 (though if it costs more the blower will be fine)

I was looking for a MB with built in wifi and the only options I could see were mini itx. I didn't really realise there was much of a difference between SSD's.

It was originally around the $900-$1100 mark. But I've pushed a little for better a better GPU

From what I had heard, H110 wasn't a great chip set. The 2x8gb DDR4-2133 does make more sense. I might even just get 1x8gb and add more later If I need to.
