Hi guys.. ive been posting this build for quite a number of times. I am feeling a bit paranoid on whether if this pc will come together nicely as this will be my first time buying online and building it myself . Are there any infomation that i should take note of? Do i need to buy extra cables? Thank you !

If it were me I would probably get a 60hz monitor and use the saved money to buy a bigger SSD. The 1060 probably won't power many games at 144 fps anyway and not many people can notice the difference between 60 and anything above. Some people say high refresh rate monitors help with competitive games but honestly I've never noticed a difference in CSGO. Just in my experience 120gb fills up fast if you're storing games on it.

Hi that was very nice of you to advice me ! firstly , the 120gb ssd will only be stored for the operating system window 10. games will be held in the hdd. the reason why i chose 144hz is because i will be playing lots of fps competitively! i tried 144hz on my fried's pc before and wow, its smooth. so therefore i can notice the difference now :( i would like to thank you for commenting and is there any points that i might want to take note of?

No problem. If you can tell the difference then all the power to you haha. Other than that I don't see any issues. It should be plenty to run CSGO and other competitive shooters.

I used a different Mobo for more I/O options over the H110 one:
Intel Z170, H170, & H110 Chipset Specifications
Z170 H170 H110
HSIO Lanes 26 22 14
Chipset PCI-e Lanes x20 3.0 x16 3.0 x6 2.0
PCI-e 3.0 Config 1 x16
2 x8
1 x8 + 2 x4 1 x16 1 x16
CPU Overclocking Yes No No
Memory Channels 2 2 2
DIMMs per Channel 2 2 1
Native SATA 3.0 Ports 6 6 4
Max USB Ports 14 14 10
Max USB3.x Ports 10 8 4
Intel SRT Yes Yes No
RAID 0/1/5/10 Yes Yes No
RST via PCI-e 3 2
Independent Displays 3 3 2
Smart Sound Yes No No
Intel SBA No Yes No
Intel SBB No Yes Yes
I/O Flexibility Yes Yes No
Differences with Z170/H170/H110 chipsets listed on GamersNexus' website.

Also the Mobo supports 4 x DIMM slots over your 2 x DIMM slots, so you can easily add additional RAM later and not have to sell or keep the original RAM sticks to fit the new added set.
Also I prefer to have a better performing system than an aesthetic looking one, but that is just me. Most of the time the computer is sitting down and away, so it isn't noticed too much. It is just my preference when it comes to getting the best performance for the $.
