Not a bad build, my advice would be to get an RX 480 instead, you can get the additional money by buying an 80+ bronze power supply and spending less on a motherboard ( in my opinion) I reckon it would also be a good idea to use any leftover money to buy an SSD first... then the hard drive.

I understand what you are saying i have put in a SSD for the OS and had to cut down the amount of HDD storage for this while also changing the PSU as you said. I have also swapped it to use a RX480 and a cheaper motherboard. Even though this is still over $550 i couldnt see much to change while using a ssd and the Sapphire RX480, best bang for your buck i think? Also like ifalloffstuff said it would be good to get a SSD down the road BUT it will be a pain to get your os on there, you'd be better to buy the SSD first!

You can get the 240GB version of the SSD instead if you want to save $50.

Get a cheaper mobo no need for a z170a if your not using skylake

but if you plan to upgrade later to a skylake cpu than go for that one.

u can save about 40 bucks on a mobo put that to ram or a better gpu
