Hi guys,
I want to build my first gaming pc. I made a list with everything i picked so far.
I would like to know if I should change anything and what monitor I should buy for this build.
I don't want any overkills or bottlenecks. I rather not spend over $1600.
Can somebody tell me if this is good or if i need to change anything so the performance will stay the same but the price will go down. And of course what monitor will be good for this build.
This is my build so far:

CPU= I7-6700K 4.0GHz
CPU COOLER= H100i GTX
MOTHERBOARD= ASUS Z170-E ATX
RAM= Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB
HHD= WD Blue 2TB
SSD= Crucial BX200 240GB
GPU= MSI GeForce GTX 1070
CASE= CM 690 III Green
PS= EVGA 750w gold

Thanks in advance

Change out that WD Green.
Presumably you will be using that for games, etc. You will run into a few pauses while it spins back up.

The Green is suitable for backups, and rarely used files. Not games or applications.

CPU cooler? One of the Cryorig A series. I have the A80, and it is quite nice.

What do you have in mind?
I rather not have a big cooler on the motherboard.

Yes, that one will work quite well.
