Need Help Picking Parts for PC

The Z170 board w/ the non k series processor isn't a good match ... both builds are CPU heavy and GPU light

The PSU is improved over last CX version but still better available for the price

Storage subsystem is very slow

I am assuming that you have a $1,000 budget to work with. This woill be far better:

How'd yu go from $1000 to $600 ?

yes, one could make a $600 build.... but it will be gimped in almost every category, with little upgrade / improvement options ... your $600 build will be struggling in a relatively short time whereas the $1000 will have a much longer shelf life. You could reasonable get by with minor upgrades for 4 years making that a $250 per year investment. A $600 build will start to feel tired after just 2 years, storage upgrades are a certainty.

It's not that a $600 build isn't worth building, if that's what ya got to spend, then that's what ya got. But you had a $1,000 budget and now are thinking $600 be aware that the lower budget machine will come with some surprises beyond the obvious speed sacrifices ... it closes off many options that will no longer be available to you

Most MoBos in this price range will come with a substandard audio / LAN solution ... no SLI ... or even CF options if certain slots are used.

Can't improve the CPU performance by overclocking when system starts feeling tired 18-24 months down the road

RAM is problematic when trying to add more down the road, the new kits might not play well with the old. Also, never a god idea to put 1 stick or RAM in a dual channel (dual means "put 2 in") Motheboard.

Aside from losing a storage subsystem that is 2.5 times faster, the HD compromise you make can be crushing in other ways. Windows will grow to an 80 GB footprint before long, GTAV takes up 95 GB... Witcher 3 takes up 40 GB before you install the 16 DLCs and multiple expansion oaks. Be aware, due to the marketing folks re-defining what a GB is to make things look bigger, your 500 GB HD only fits 465 GB ... leave the recommended 15% free and you down to 395 GB ... Windows will eat 80 GB within 6 months. you now down to 315 GB, GTAV takes you down to 220 GB. Not much room for more games.

On the plus side, GTAV won't get you quite to 60 fps with a < $200 GFX card, but it will be very close ... but that came out in 2013 for PS4 and 21 months ago for PC... GTA VI is rumored for 2107. Of the 15 games in TPUs test suite, you will be able to get 60 fps in 7 of them

The case that will typically fit cost wise in a $600 build, you likely won't want to reuse 3 years from now when you upgrade to a $1000 build.

So, again, the only reason I mention these is that if you had certain expectations going into a $1000 build, those need to be adjusted for th $600 build. If you could somehow squeeze that up to $800 or so, you would not experience most of those.
