What do you intend to do with the PC , if its gaming , what kind of games at what resolution
The RX 480 is better than the 1050Ti for sure , and the super nova G2 would be my choice
Wait bit more for the new AMD processors , they might be worth the wait
If you plan to overclock with, you need to get the 6600k, if not you dont need that Zseries board , the h110 would be fine

Thanks.
Not into gaming at this point, but I multi-task - multiple web browsers open, stock market program running, Office, antivirus, antispyware. I'd like upgradability and cost-containment, hence the Pentium 1151 chip.

Do you mean this Supernova G2?

Since you're not gaming, you don't even need a good GPU like a RX 480 (unless you're going to watch 4K content...).
