Need help finished build plan

[ParzivalFX]

Here is my current build plan. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/fTt76X I need to add a CPU (Intel only), motherboard, and CPU cooler (liquid or air) to it, with a 500$ budget. I plan on using this primarily for gaming and will be doing some light overclocking. 

 

Sidenote: If any of you have recommendations for a good 100-200 gaming monitor, 25 inch, 60 hz, 1-2 ms response time, that would be great.

What are the rest of your specs? Have you bought it? Cause if you need help with CPU I think you also would want help with other parts

You didn't actually say what your other components were using and you didn't say you needed RAM so based on that here is what I would do:

 

Processor

Cooler

Motherboard

Thanks for pointing that out. I added the link.

[xxxHellcatsxxx]

Thanks.

 

You may want to consider this motherboard then. It will eliminate the need for that wireless PCI card.

In addition to the requested part recommendations I would suggest a few changes to the OP build list.

 

A slightly less expensive memory kit with the same performance from a reputable manufacturer.

 

A much larger ssd. A larger, fast store will provide a better experience than the smaller but faster ssd.

 

A much better psu.

I might be using CableMod to color some of my cables, at least the 24 pin and 6 pin. Do you have another recommendation for a fully modular PSU?

EVGA SuperNOVA 550 (220-G2-0550-Y1) would be an excellent choice. As would  Corsair RM550x.

I couldn't find any ddr4, 3000mhz or faster, white 2x8 gb memory for a reasonable price. I changed the powersupply to the one you suggested, plus 100 watts, and upgraded the ssd from 128 to 256 gbs. Here is the new list. Any final things? I plan to begin purhcasing parts within the next few days.

You think I should run the i5 7600k on a z170 instead of a z 270?

Looks fine. I would note that the Intel 600p is not the best performing NVMe drive.

Do you have a recommendation for another cheap, 256 NVMe PCIe SSD?

[ParzivalFX]

Would this one work better? or that one?

Not really. What are you trying to achieve with an M.2 NVMe drive?

[ParzivalFX]

I just wanted my computer to boot as fast as possible. I wanted an upgrade from my current 3 minute boot time. Other than the SSD, do you think that the build is done and I can start purchasing?

A SATA III ssd will give you very good boot times. The 600p will be faster.

 

Build list looks good to me.
