upgraded the to i7 for 97. figure it was better to get it for that now then pay 400 in the future

i7-6700k = very fast, top of the line
nvidia gtx 1060 = mid-range gpu, perfect for 1920x1080 gaming single monitor

psu = bronze rated unknown brand (?), questionable part...

"MEMORY: 16GB (4GBx4) DDR4/3000MHz Dual Channel Memory (ADATA XPG Z1)" - I'm not sure you will be able to run your RAM at stock clock rate. With 2 DIMMs per channel you probably will need to lower freq.

[chiefputsilao✖️ping]

there is a psu tier ranked from best to not...

http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

the brand matters most as these manufacturers have the best reputation.
a seasonic branded 520W+ (true-rated) may perform better than a 700W generic psu (not true-rated)

i might be able to change it to the option 650 Watts - Corsair CX650M CX Series Modular 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply still within my budget if thats a better choice

[chiefputsilao✖️ping]

is this the one you ordered, $1219 before all applicable rebates:

xfx, corsair, evga are good brands but i don't have a personal experience using them.

(seasonic with 1-yr warranty and silverstone psu with 3-yrs warranty are readily available in my preferred store in the philippines)

It always better to have 2x8 GB DIMMs than 4x4. There is a chance that computer will not even boot with your current config.

[Bad 💀 Motha]

Yea, building newer system, 2x8GB or 2x16GB makes much more sense.
Why do 4x4GB from the start, maxing out the board. Plus some boards will not support that properly; again you'd have to look at the motherboard manual for that.

Base rule I use for these newer systems is simple:
- If not Z170 Chipset; use either 2133 or 2400; whatever is better bang for buck and also lower CAS; as many times you may see 2400 is cheaper; and yes, even on say B150M, 2400 RAM can run at 2133 (which is the max if is not Z170 Chipset.
- If you are getting Z170 Chipset, then get 3200 RAM; if you are going to say "It's too much" then I say, why are you even going Z170 + K CPU anyways if you gonna cut corners.
