Need your opinions

Seems okay. What's your overall goal budget?

Also, Microcenter was listed as a vendor, do you happen to live near one? Usually there are pretty steep discounts for motherboard&CPU combos.
 
It's not going to affect "performance" per say, but what it will allow you for a lot more "upgradeability". If that's even a word. lol

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGA_1151#Skylake_chipsets

See that chart for comparison between the different chipsets available for the LGA1151 socket. To summarize the chart, the Z170 is better than the H110 by
  • full control for overclocking the processor and ram if you wish to pursue that.
  • more DIMM slots for ram
  • more USB 3.0 ports
  • More SATA3 ports
  • More PCI-E 3.0 lanes, especially for items that's not a video card. (ie. nvme ssd's, usb 3.1 expansion cards, wireless pcie cards...etc.)
tl:dr, the z170 chipset is more robust for when you want to add more stuff to it down the road.

Be sure to check this guide out. http://www.computerforum.com/threads/budget-pc-build-guide-500-1200-builds.239333/

You should be able to get a lot with a $1200 budget. The builds from that list include dvd drive and a copy of Windows 10. If you already have that, you'll just take off $100 from the builds.

Stocks for the GTX 1070 and the RX480's pretty limited right now. You might have to see yourself waiting for a bit before being able to get ahold of them.
 
Why do you spend $60 on liquid cooler for non-OC PC?

Motherboard - You don't have to get Z170 ATX mobo if you don't want. However, I suggest you at least get something with 4 RAM slot...

Do you need that many case fans?

That's nothing wrong with stock cooler with non oc pc...

Read what I said before and what I quoted before again.

I commented on the benefits of a liquid cooler vs the stock cooler. An AIO cooler pushes the hot air outside of the case vs the stock cooler pushes the warm/hot air into it's surrounding. I never made claims that the stock cooler needs to be changed, or pointed out that it's "wrong" to use it. I just simply said, the AIO would help him with lower ambient temperatures inside the case.

As for the 4 case fans, I made no comments to his build yet.
 
This is what I'd personally get. http://pcpartpicker.com/list/zxjwVY

i5-6500
Corsair H80i GT
MSI Z170-A Pro mobo
MSI GTX 1070

It'll do you wonderfully, and if you have the $40 to throw for a 6600K, I'd do it. Overclocking Skylake is a breeze.

You seem to have a great parts list already, and the Corsair 200R is a great budget case (used it for my first custom build).
 
Something like this?

Not that C4C has a bad build there, or that anyone here is giving inherently bad advice, but if your budget is $900-$1200, then you need to build for that budget. Set a budget, and reach that price point. There is little to no point in setting a budget if you are going to ignore it and go for even cheaper/more expensive. Reach the ceiling you set yourself, and stop there; That's what it's for. I see this too often, and it rustles my jimmies every time.

That said, I'll provide a couple builds here, one in the price range you seem to be actually looking at, and one in the price range you told us you could afford.

The cases in either of these are essentially placeholders. There's nearly infinite choices in cases, so that could easily be swapped for an enormous number of other looks and designs and whatnot.

The $750 lacks a SSD in favor of a RX 480, includes 16GB of RAM (I find 8GB to be too little for me, but this could be cut back on a bit for an 8GB set), and a non-K CPU due to the price point.

The $1200 has a nice, new K series CPU, with a decent cooler (plenty of options here, could go water, etc..., but off-the-bat, I would argue that getting a better GPU and other components are more important than the ability to get substantial OCs on day one). Included a little 256GB SSD for boot this time. At this price point, the 1070 is definitely where it's at. A 980Ti could also be purchased at this price point, but it is now out-dated and so on, but might be more available.
