I'm from Belgium and building my first computer. I'd like to build one that will allow me to play games on good settings for the next couple of years.

What I have right now:

CPU ---------------------- Intel® Core i5-6600K, 3,5 GHz (3,9 GHz Turbo Boost) socket 1151
CPU Cooler -------------- Cooler Master Hyper TX3 EVO
Graphics card ----------- MSI GeForce GTX 1070 Gaming X 8G
Power Supply ----------- Cooler Master G750M, 750 Watt
Motherboard ------------ ASRock Z170M Extreme4, socket 1151
Memory ----------------- Ballistix 16 GB DDR3-1600
Hard Drive -------------- Seagate Barracuda 7200.14, 3 TB
SSD ---------------------- ADATA Premier Pro SP900, 128 GB
Case --------------------- Aerocool Mechatron
Monitor ----------------- Acer 21.5" Monitor G226HQLIbid
Operating System ------ Windows 10
Keyboard --------------- Logitech Keyboard K120
Mouse ------------------- Genesis GX68
Network card ----------- ASUS PCE-N15, WLAN adapter
Disk Drive -------------- LG GH24NSD1

I'm mostly worried about the graphics card. Will it be compatible in this build? I'm buying all my parts from www.alternate.be. Are there other websites that offer better deals? All other advice is also very much appreciated! Thanks in advance.

First thing that I notice is the inclusion of DDR3 ram, that's not going to work on that motherboard, you want DDR4 ram for that build. The graphics will work for that build.

Great build, BUT horrible choice on the CPU cooler and the Power supply. Are u going to overclock? If so step it up a bit and get the 212 Evo.
And a better website would be www.pcpartpicker.com

The gtx 1070 is out of stock. U can pick up a used GTX 980 ti for around $400 if u're lucky, it will perform identical to the 1070.
The Disk drive is optional, but it's up to u if u want to have one.

Pick up Windows 10 for cheaper, here: http://www.kinguin.net/category/22175/windows-10-home-oem-key/

Thanks, I was a little iffy on the CPU Cooler, I will go for the 212 evo. And what was wrong with the power supply? Do I need one with more Watt? Also, I'm in Belgium and the 1070 is still in stock here.
