- get a better PSU. The CX600 is particularly poor.
Seasonic G / XFX TS Gold / Super Flower Platinum King are available for pretty cheap and solid quality.

MSI boards are good if they work. However they got quality control issues. I'd pick a Gigabyte or Asus board instead. The new Gigabyte Aorus lineup looks pretty good, not only in terms of aesthetics.
- the 212X is alright but depending on how much you want to OC I'd go with a Cryorig H5, a Noctua U12S or a Scythe Mugen Max

I don't like Gigabyte, it looks like disco.
and how about ROG STRIX Z270E GAMING?
Cooler - CRYORIG H5A Universal Mid Tower Cooler For AMD/Intel CPU's
Motherboard - MSI Z270 GAMING M5 ? ASUS ROG STRIX Z270E GAMING?
Graphics Card - ROG strix GTX1070 8G GAMING
RAM - G.Skill TridenZ series 16GB DDR4-3200
Storage - WD 1TB + Samsung 950 PRO M.2

AmandaBoonstra :

Those disco lights on the gigabyte motherboard are to help troubleshoot probaly and usually one of the good quality products.

Whats your budget???

Don't like MSI boards. Too many quality control issues. Asus is fine.
Spending money on trident Z ram is spending money on looks. If that's important to you go with it.
It's a nice build then.

The aurous boards have got more usb 3 than any other boards but so far I liked the Asus STRIX Gaming E for the overall balance of slots and connectors at the price point, with integrated bluetooth and wifi.

Have you build your pc already? I wanted to know if you encoutered some compatibility problems with the H5 universal and the caps on your motherboard.. I got the motherboard in the mail today but it looks like the cryorig h5 universal might interfere with the plastic caps on the left of the motherboard.. :'(
