for using the dual channel? yes, 2x8 ram module for speed and to make it future proof

i don't like adata, i would get corsair or kingston

the rest, looks fine to me

are you going to use the heatsink that comes with that i5?

That's the plan yes i was gonna use the stock heatsink, this is just a list idea i have I'm holding out on buying parts until kaby lake is released. And i'll probably do the 2x8 ram for the future proofing. I also already got the adata ssd because it had good reviews, and i found it on sale.

yes, usually good reviews but you don't meet much people really using them, so i don't know if 1 year is too much to ask from them, is a concern, a kingston or a corsair should last at least 3 years, that is why i mention it

the heatsink, i mentioned it thinking on airflow in that case but supposedly comes with 5 fans so the heatsink perhaps is unnecesary unless you find it too noisy in the future

That PSU is an overkill. No way you need that much power. Refined the build for more ram, better ssd, better gpu @$50 extra.

What kind of upgrades are you talking about??? Hardwares these days are becoming more and more power efficient and I dont see theres any need of that kind of power unless you are sli/crossfire'ing. But sli/crossfire is not recommended these days as not all games are optimized for them, and you cannot even do that with GTX 1060 as it doesnt support sli. Matter of fact nvidia is phasing out for 3-4 way sli chronically. Should you choose to do so, you have to go crossfire in that case for which Rx 480 would be ideal for your budget or you may have to stretch your budget for gtx 1070.
