Took your list as a baseline and modified it according to your needs.

New pcpp list: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/6xhbLD

Changes made and why i did them.

MoBo
Put in a MSI H170A PC Mate which is a good MoBo for i5-6500.
If you want to go cheaper on MoBo then you can switch it out for MSI H110M Pro-VD and save £40; while loosing 2 RAM slots. Oh, MoBo size also gets smaller, from ATX to mATX (micro ATX).

Im going to keep this Pc for a long time so i dont want the components to get damaged or have a short lifetime so id rather pay extra and have the 80+gold psu,
the ssd with better read/write times and an nvidia graphics card just because i like them more than Radeon xD , and like aecus said my cpu cant be overclocked so whats the point in the z-170 MoBo, but thank you anyway for taking the time to set that up :)

RAM
Put in 2x 4GB Kingston 2133 Mhz RAM to get you going.
You can always add more RAM since you have 4 RAM slots in total.

Storage
Swithced out Corsair SSD for Kingston SSD.
I prefer Kingston SSDs and RAMs due to their solid performance, great compatibility and low failure rate.
Also switched out Seagate HDD for WD Caviar Blue HDD for better performance to price ratio.

GPU
Switched out your GTX 1060 6GB for GTX 1060 3GB, while saving £68.
Even though 6GB GPU is about 7% faster than 3GB GPU, it's also about 15% more expensive. And thanks to this, 3GB GPU has better performance to price ratio.
You can switch back to your 6GB GPU if you like.
comparison: http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-1060-3GB-vs-Nvidia-GTX-1060-6GB/3646vs3639

PSU
Didn't change it since EVGA SuperNOVA G2 is a Tier one PSU (the highest quality and most stable), while the Seasonic S12II series is Tier two PSU (slightly lower quality than Tier one).

Why would you go with a Z170 if you cant even overclock the processor?
Just get the Gigabyte H110M-a with a small form factor case

Kingston SSD'S?
>>Kingston Bait & Switch<<
I wouldn't trust them

And i do not recommend you get the 3GB GTX 1060 as its not enough Vram for
newer titles. The bare minimum should be 4GB, which most games almost use.
Instead for with the RX 480 , better performance

Did you know that your referred article is more than 2 years old?
Not to mention that it only covers Kingston V300 120GB SSDs which is one of the cheapest series they offer?

For OP, i suggested Kingston Fury 240GB series.


For benchmarks i don't trust random images that can be manipulated easely.
I prefer looking at the benchmark site itself. That being said,

RX 480 vs GTX 1060 3GB
comparison: http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-1060-3GB-vs-AMD-RX-480/3646vs3634

RX 480 vs GTX 1060 6GB
comparison: http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-1060-6GB-vs-AMD-RX-480/3639vs3634

(And what's with the bold text? Do you really need to stand out that much?)

I use bold text because it looks nice

Also I didn't say it was from that series ... I said I wouldn't trust them after that . I'd rather stick with Samsung OR Some Other Brand .

Those benchmarks aren't manipulated. They are accurate . The RX 480 is better . More vram and supports Vulcan . Which more and more games are supporting
