Hey guys I'm building myself a new PC. I am going to put a 6700k in it.

Here is the current parts that I have purchased.

Since tomorrow Newegg is running a big Black Friday sale I have been looking on their site for good deals.

My main thing that I have been looking at is the motherboards, the price isn't really that big of a deal. I have been debating between the two of these motherboards and I'm still not sure which one I'm going to chose however I'm leaning towards the more expensive of the two.

The computer cases I'm interested in is the cube shaped ones. If you guys have any suggestions I'd greatly appreciate it.

For the cooling, I think I'm leaning towards Cosair's H100i v2.

For the CPU cooler, get an NZXT Kraken X61 or X62 if you can instead. Or, something from Fractal Design, Swiftech, or something like that. The H100i V2 is fine, but you can definitely get better. Absolutely do not spend over $200 for a Z170 chipset motherboard, that would be a huge waste of money.

One of those would be my choice probably.

Personally i wouldn't go for either of those boards, i looked in to both and didnt see a lot of good on the ASUS ROG MAXIMUS VIII HERO, the other board i personally dont think it has enough to justify the price

Here is what i would recommend:
