why a Z170 motherboard?

why liquid cooling?

 

you have a locked i5

Ryzen 5 3600 stock | 2x16GB C13 3200MHz (AFR) | GTX 760 (Sold the VII)| ASUS Prime X570-P | 6TB WD Gold (128MB Cache, 2017)

Samsung 850 EVO 240 GB 

138 is a good number.

Also don't get a 850w psu for a 250w system and bad gpu choice.  Get the 1050 ti, 4gb of ddr5 is way better and 2gb

There's a significantly probable possibility that the motherboard you picked will need a BIOS update before it works with that CPU (or any Broadwell CPUs).

Yeah, but how is he going to get the BIOS updated? He'll either have to send it to the manufacturer and pay for shipping (in addition to the inconvenience) or find a computer store to do it for him. The required BIOS update (7.10) for Kabylake was released in Mid-November 2016. I think it's likely that he'll get a board with an older BIOS, since the update hasn't been out for too long.

 

Going back to a 6600k is a better decision here.

if he has any other computer he can put it on a flash drive, BIOS updates arent hard

I think it's poor value. Here's a build that I think is much better for the money, and is very close to your budget. I also included a 34" ultrawide 1440p IPS monitor, a genuine Charry MX mechanical keyboard, and the best budget mouse on the market (Its Avago 3050 sensor fights WAY above its weight class). You can also pick up Windows 10 for a measly 20 quid.
