Hi,

@Wvdp, what is your budget and please state the currency.

The Asus z170 Pro gaming is a really good motherboard for that price. Furthermore, you don't need 3000mhz RAM, i say you should just stay with 2400mhz ram to save some bucks, it won't make a difference ^^.

@Wvdp, I went with the Cryorig C7 CPU cooler since it is low profile and you can use it in small ITX cases in the future or you can sell it easily as it will fit in any case. It is also quieter than the Hyper 212 EVO at 30 dBA. For the case, I went with the NZXT S340 Black/Red case but you can swap it out if you don't like it or if you have another case in mind.

I would probably just but an i7 6700k... the i5 6500k is not really that great on value over the 6500 and it's not even worth over clocking because the i7 will still take a dump all over it with just it's base clocks. Other than that your build is good and the Asus pro gaming is a good buy at that price.
