Don't spend so much on a motherboard, just get the Gigabyte Z170-HD3P or the Asrock Fatal1ty Z170 Gaming K4

 

For the sake of RAM clearance get the NH-D15S

Don't overspend on a 1080, just get the Gamerock for 580

We have a NEW and GLORIOUSER-ER-ER PSU Tier List Now. (dammit @LukeSavenije stop coming up with new ones)

You can check out the old one that gave joy to so many across the land here

is that all you're buying? You said 1500 UK Pounds for in total. https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/2jTxTH

Which as shown right there is plenty to get a very sexy and cost effective build.

2TB HDD to hold mass storage and 525GB to hold a bunch of games ect

Motherboards don't affect the speed of your system at all. Get the cheapest Z170 motherboard you can find from a reputable manufacturer (ASUS, Gigabyte, Msi, Asrock, Etc)

What about a power supply? What about a Case?
