Here's a suggested build for almost the same total price as your wishlist in amazon (~$1400), but, this time, you already got the unlocked i5-7600K with a good-quality CPU Cooler, a Z270 mobo with SLI support as your initial pick, faster 2400MHz 8GB RAM (2 x 4GB), better/faster SSD using Samsung 850 EVO (but at 250GB), 2TB HDD, more powerful GTX 1070 (instead of the GTX 1060), better-quality and ample wattage PSU (EVGA SuperNOVA G2 550), a good case for airflow, looks, and cable management at a lower price, a lower-priced IPS 27" 1080p 5ms monitor with the same looks as your initial pick, and your OS -- all in amazon as you preferred.
