I would add an optical drive! :D Otherwise I don't know, hardware isn't really my thing. 

Yes, it's 2871 as in the year 2871. I traveled all this way, back in time, just to help you. And you thought your mama lied when she said you were special. -_-

  • Power Supply for sure
  • No need for Z170
  • Get a 6700k or 7700k instead
  • Get a Z270 motherboard
  • Only 500GB of HDD?
  • RX 480!! That monitor has Freesync!

Yes, This!

RX 480 is a better card than the 1060 anyway. (because of DX12)

PSU is soooo trash

choose either a non-Z motherboard, or a K-sku CPU. (7700K OR H/B Motherboard)

 

Z270 is a bad choice IMO. Z270 motherboards are much more expensive than Z170 ones, and many Z170 boards have a way to update the BIOS without a CPU. (especially the more premium ones)

Spend As Much Time Writing Your Question As You Want Me To Spend Responding To It.

If I'm wrong, please point it out. I'm always learning & I won't bite.

I don't think you need a network card. that motherboard has gigabit Ethernet already

Getting a 170 with a 7xxx cpu is a bad idea. the 170 chipset disables the features a kabylake processor adds, like the new video codecs that are required to run 4k movies now

Really? so even with the latest BIOS a Z170 motherboard can't watch 4K Netflix?

What a shame.

Which is what OP plans to do with a GTX 1060? He will buy a 4K monitor?

I have no idea what op wants. Maybe he wants to hook this up to a tv or something later. He didn't give a good description of what he wants to do so if he's buying a kabylake processor might aswell buy a motherboard that supports features that kabylake brings to the table.

No I am saying that a just for the sake of 4K netflix not 4K movies in general it is not worth to get Kaby Lake

It isn't a pre built but I am buying it through a company that allows you to decide what you want in it and they build it for you as I've never actually built a computer myself
