Wanting to build a new PC - Few components I am not sure about though.

Will be used for a bit of gaming (Battlefield 1 primarily) & good generic desktop multi tasking.
Looking to spend around £1000.

Any Suggestions of what components are best to use?

So Far:
- Intel Core i5-6600 6th Gen
- 16GB (2x 8GB) Corsair Vengeance DDR4
- 240GB Kingston SSDNow UV400
- 2TB Seagate Barracuda 7200 RPM
- MSI GeForce GTX 1060 Gaming X 6GB Video Card

- Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-Z170X-Gaming 3
- Cooler Master Cooler Nepton 120XL Liquid All in One
- Corsair CXM Builder series 600W Power Supply

I know nothing about mother boards, so is the GA-Z170X adequate for all of it?
Also the CPU cooling system I chose go with it?
The PSU adequate for all of this?
And Finally the GPU - I keep finding mixed reviews about it but can't afford the MSI 1070?

ANY suggestions/advice will be greatly appreciated!!!!

:)

Thanks

Either go with the 6600K and a z170 MB for overclocking or the 6500 and a cheaper MB.
You would onlky need an aftermaket cooler with the former, adn i recommend staying away from AiOs because of their reduced reliability compared to a good air cooler.

And you can actually afford a 1070 if you don;t also need a monitor:

Yeah, I am not looking to overclock - Do not know how to but also I don't require it!
Great thanks for that & I am glad you pointed out I can afford the 1070!

Great Info, THANKS!
