Try and source a used 6600k and Z170 motherboard if you want to save some bucks. I'd also try and aim for at least a 240GB SSD. Other than that looks good!

with the release of Kaby Lake I would probably go that route instead (not that you NEED to or anything). Just doesn't make much sense to me to buy brand new, older components IMO.

there's not much of a difference between skylake and kabylake anyways, and the z270 mobos tend to be more expensive for now(unless you wanna take the chance on the z170 bios). might as well save a few bucks going with skylake.

more overclocking headroom... and its not much more expensive. Differing opinions I suppose, but to each their own.
