What do you think about my first build?

[Shmishe]

Here is my build http://pcpartpicker.com/list/nyM3RG

This is my first pc build. What would you recommend? What would you change? Is it a good build? Any help and comment is appreciated.

overall, you've got a pretty nice parts list

things that could have a 2nd thought would be...

CPU COOLER: Yes evo 212 is a Great cooler, but looking at the system overall it would seem that you could look at other options that would allow larger gains in the overclocking field.

SSD drive is rather small, there are many games which will fill your drive rather fast these days, Possibility of 500gb?

BTW, Good choice on GPU not cheaping out, maybe take alook at asus strix 1070? not sure what your price difference is

It's a great build, well-made choices.

I'd change the Asus mobo to a Gigabyte or MSI with exact same chipset Z170 tho. I've heard they're better for OC

Aside from that, everythings is perfectly fine!

Not bad at all. I probably would have went with an M2 SSD and a Cryorig H7(the R1 if you really want to OC).

Great build and the only things I would suggest is the Crorig H7 and the M.2 Samsung 960evo. The 960evo should be out in a few days for $129.

Thank you all for your comments, I really appreciate it!

Can I change the fan of Cryorig H7 if needed? And is there a major factor why should I choose M2 SSD over the SSD I've chosen? It's like 50 pounds more, I'm trying to build a PC with money I have right now

you'll be happy with a normal SSD, there's enough speed for gaming and boot time
of course there is better out there, ALWAYS. But would that 50 pounds be worth in putting towards something else? YES. in the end, it's up to you. check some benchmarks on your ssd choice and the m.2 ones and you'll see if it's worth it for you

Yes as it a standard size 120mm fan that cllips on heatsink. the M.2 960evo is about 10 times faster than the old 850evo. The 850evo's read speed is about 550mb where the 960evo is 3200mb's plus it has faster write speeds. Last table on the page in the link.

Yes, but the fan that come with it is a good quiet fan.
Looking on PC part picker the M.2 version of the 850 was only 2 quid more. Another option for the SSD is the MX300 it's cheaper and the speed difference is negligible and using an M.2 drive will ease cable management..
