I am planning on either building a gaming pc or buying an already built one, but I dont have the 18k (in my country's currency) to splash out at once so I think buying the parts individualy will be a better option. But I need the expert advice that you guys can give me for the parts, whether its good value for money and if the parts will all fit together and work together to compliment eachother. It is going to be a skylake build because I want it to last a few years.
GPU - MSI GTX970 oc
CPU- i5 6500 3.2ghz
RAM - 8gb (2x4) 3200mhz ddr4
Storage - WD 1tb blue 7200rmp
PSU - corsair cx600m
Case - Zalman ms800
Optical drive - LG GH24NSD0

For the motherboard I need some help, I have 3 options. MSI z170a tomahawk, MSI z170a krait gaming or the ASROCK fatal1ty z170 gaming k6?

Thank you so much.
Kind regards

the flagship is due in april, but those will be $600-1000 cards, I;d go ahead & get the 970 it will still work for new games for 2-3 years. if you wait because something better is coming in 3-6 months, you'll never get anything. something better is always coming 3 to 6 months away

as for your motherboard, I'd pick the AS Rock Fatal1ty board

Okay thanks, but wouldn't the new graphics cards coming out in summer be a lot more expensive than a GTX 970 now? Which card would you recommend for 1080p gaming at the moment?

The cx series isn't a very good series power supply so i would change that also your cpu isn't overclockable but all the motherboards you listed supported overclocking either spend more and get a K series cpu or get a different motherboard

on a z170 board, all chips can overclock via bclk overclocking
