It's a good build, but if you pair a locked CPU with a Z170 motherboard, you are wasting money. Get a good H170 board or go cheaper with B150 if you want.

As above, also I always recommend a full copy of Windows instead of OEM. OEM is tied to the first motherboard it is used on so you cannot transfer it to future systems and it makes upgrading motherboards more expensive. The full copy also gives you Microsoft support but not sure anyone ever uses that
