Hello guys!
My friend is building a new gaming pc and he asked me to ask around the forums what do others think about it. So here is what he came up with ( here is a link) :
Motherboard: AsRock Z170 Extreme 4
CPU: i7- 6700K
GPU:Gigabyte GeForce GTX1070 8GB G1
CPU Cooler: Corsair H110i GT
Memory:Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2666
Storage: Western Digital WD Purple 2TB
SSD: Samsung 850 EVO-Series 250GB
PSU: Corsair CXM 750W 80+ Bronze
Case:NZXT H440 (White/Black)

System will be mainly used for gaming and is a bit overkill for now, but he donesn't want to change it every year. I would like you to tell me your opinion about this, what would you change, is it all compatible and works well together,..? The budget is around the price of this system so aorund 1500$. Thank you for your help :D

Admirable
Honestly if this were my money I would go for this setup, the GPU is the thing that you upgrade the most trying to keep up with games so I would go with this.
