These are the components that I have chosen for my new PC Build

http://in.pcpartpicker.com/list/B7Hwhq

Case: Corsair SPEC Alpha

Questions:

1) To cut down the cost, can I replace Asus Z170-AR/A with the motherboards below without affecting performance? (I don't plan on overclocking any component) Preferably within $110 range

MSI Z170A PC Mate
Gigabyte GA Z170M-D3H
MSI Z170M Mortar

2) Will the Corsair CX600 PSU be good enough for this rig? I don't want to spend more than $60 on PSU. (I will be playing mostly GTA-V, Battlefield 1, Watch Dogs 2, etc)

Suggestions are welcome :)

XFX Core edition pro
XFX TS
Antec High Current Gamer (both M and non M)
FSP Hydro
Corsair CXM (not the old CX)
EVGA B2
Cooler Master V series (full modular)

These should be priced fairly.

Consider spending more one the PSU, less on the board.
Changed the CPU to a 6500, the board to the b150 hyper (should you ever want to youvcan 100% still overclock with this setup)
The gammaxx performs about the same as the evo but is half the price.
Changed the PSU, yes its expensive but is the heart of your system & should not be compromised.

& the whole package works out substantially less budget wise.

750W is way over the tops, especially going with a non-k CPU, 550W is all OP needs
but yes, Seasonic / XFX / EVGA Supernova / Antec High Current is worth the investment.
Corsair CX is not recommandable

The motherboards I have mentioned, i.e
MSI Z170A PC Mate
Gigabyte GA Z170M-D3H
MSI Z170M Mortar

also come in the same price range of b150 hyper, so should I get one of those which I have listed as they have superior chipset?

And also, you suggested to go for i5-6500, so does it come with stock cooler? Even if it does, should I go for after market CPU cooler?

Out of your suggestions, I have picked

Seasonic S12II 620W
Seasonic M12II 520W Evo
Corsair RM550 (need suggestion on this as CXM isn't available)

Should I choose any one of this, preferably the Seasonic as its cheap?
