I would drop the RAM to 8GB, you really dont need 16GB with this build.
Your processor also does not support 2400MHz RAM, only 2133MHz.
No need for a Z170 board, get a standard H110, B150, or H170 board.

Use the money for something like a 480 or 1060.

The more I think about it, an i3 + 470 would be better.
