No. Just no. But I am busy so that's all I will say for now.

Looks good. However imo 32GB RAM is overkill.

[Glacia]

Cannot find any dealbreakers, but I'd have 2 things I'd point out:

 

- Unless this is for content creation, you're never going to fill 32GB of RAM. With some pretty intense games and very bad tab-habits in Chrome I've still never hit the 16GB-mark.

- The 750W PSU is complete overkill, considering your motherboard cannot accommodate SLI. While it's true you should be comfortably above what your system draws, a 400W PSU would do the same in this system (Take it from me. I've made the same mistake in my build. )

Do you have a skylake cpu to flash the bios to Kabylake for the Z170?

If not, I'd get a Z270 Mobo, 

Can save a few bucks and go to 16gb of ram, since you won't need 32GB uinless your doing streaming, content creation while playing a game at the same time.

The case is a good choice. The psu is twice the maximum draw possible by the build. Even allowing for overclocking, capacitor aging, and upgrades this is way over capacity. The cpu cooler is adequate for stock cooling. It will not provide much of a cushion for overclocking. That particular model of Barracuda does not have a very good reputation.

 

Unless you are certain that the motherboard will ship with a Kaby Lake compatible BIOS or you have a Skylake cpu available to mount in the motherboard to complete a BIOS upgrade, do not pair a Z170 motherboard with an i7-7700K cpu. Either change the cpu to an i7-6700K or choose a Z270 motherboard.

 

32GB of memory is an awful lot. If you are not doing something like 4K video editing, you might consider going with a 2x8GB memory kit instead. You might consider using the savings to get an H100i V2 cpu cooler.

hi guys thanks for the reponses, 

 

1. so the 750 battery was on sale with rebate ($50.00 total), reason i went for it

2. 32 ram is for doing lots of photoshop and lightroom (will be gaming too of course)... is that still over kill?  No mo graph or video content really,  i do have a 4k monitor in a BenQ BL2711U i'd like to utilize that if i can.

3. thanks for the info on the motherboard i will double check that. 

4. the barracuda drive i already had from a previous nas server build (it's counterpart died so it's just chilling at the moment).  on top of that i have an 8tb server on my network so not to concerned about using it.

Im building that if that will help
