You think you could use PCPartPicker instead?

Will do, although there isn't a Netherlands Partspicker site so not all prices will be included.

Unless you can get that board updated to Kaby Lake from the store I recommend that you get a Z270 board.

[ATFink]

How many GB of ram?

 

Also, I wouldn't advise getting a Seagate HDD. Go with either a Toshiba, HGST, or Western Digital if you want a lower chance of failure. If you do get the Seagate drive keep a close eye on it with S.M.A.R.T. at least by the time it gets 2 years old. They used to make very good drives in the past, but they aren't what they used to be.

I forgot to add Z270, since there is indeed a Z270 variant.

Will change the HDD, since the prices here for those brands a pretty much identical

May I ask you for the reasoning behind your changes?

It's cheaper, the PSU is fully modular, added a bigger SSD because 120GB will be full in no time unless he only uses it for Windows, The motherboard is supporting the new Kabylake processor and is also cheaper (could go even cheaper tho).

The hard drive you showed is 5400 rpm. It'll read and write about 20% slower than a 7200 rpm counterpart. I advise you use the 1 TB 7200 RPM WD blue from @RaptorCandy's PcPartPicker list. Unless you really need more than 1 TB (you probably won't unless you keep like 50 steam games installed at a time) you should be just fine.

If your reasoning is the BackBlaze stats, they're not a good indicator. My Barracuda has been kicking ass for 3 years now..

Ah, I thought it was the 7200RPM one. Nonetheless he can just get the 7200RPM one it's the same price.

Same here. I have a Seagate that's almost three years as well and it's been working just fine, but considering Seagate recently changed its warranty from 3 years to 1 year, backblaze statistics (yes I know a data center will be rough on a drive, but  it still shows relative reliability to competition and you might as well get a similarly priced drive if it is more reliable, has similar capacity, and has similar read and write speeds), and the debacle with the 3 TB models reliability issues (model of the drive I am referring to is: ST3000DM001... take a look at this article and it's comments section: https://www.backblaze.com/blog/3tb-hard-drive-failure/) I've decided I don't want to put myself on the line with a Seagate drive. I know the 2 TB model OP was referring to is more reliable than the 3 TB model that was sold, but the 2 TB model is still significantly less reliable similarly than similarly priced HGST or Hitachi drives.

 

Note to OP:

HGST (also known as hitachi before a merger occurred, the name is still kept sometimes though) drives can be very loud and clicky sounding under some circumstances, this doesn't mean it's about to fail. Check the S.M.A.R.T. if you buy an HGST drive and it worries you. Also read up on where local sellers get their drives. I noticed a lot of HGST drives sold through amazon vendors near you sold used data center drives with attempts to delete the S.M.A.R.T. data. Don't buy drives that have been pulled from data centers.

 

EDIT:

Apparently there was a class action lawsuit against Seagate because of the repulsive lack of reliability in the 1.5 TB and 3 TB models... 2 TB models are much better, but still prone to failure:

The warranty thing doesn't concern me due to Australia's very good consumer protection laws - if you sell a product, regardless of warranty stated, you are required to service it if it breaks down for a general amount of time. For example, if I sell a phone for $650 and it dies 13 months later and the guy contacts me to get it fixed, even if the warranty has expired, I am still liable to fix it for 2 years, because phones are sold on 2 year contracts.

Sounds potentially very good for buying stuff on the used market. Probably provides less incentive to sell in the used market, potentially higher priced goods as well, but if you can nab something for a good deal that sounds awesome.

A policy like that would never fly in America unless your New York City with mandatory 30 day warranties (30 days... what a joke )

It's good, but our used market is not. It's saved my shit on numerous occasions, yeah. But we have mandatory 30day warranties too.
