@Herman Mcpootis i had to ask, how do you use a mobile cpu in a pc? according to your status you have this cpu:

https://ark.intel.com/products/83504/Intel-Core-i7-4870HQ-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_70-GHz

but that's a mobile chip...

guys in china managed to adapt them to work on LGA 1150 boards, but gigabyte boards won't work with crystalWell CPUs.

Went with a pretty high-end build since you had a high budget, theme is black with RGB for accents. 8600K and GTX 1060 6GB combo can play practically any game.
