My friend asked me to build it (Most of it). Just want to know your opinions.
MSI GTX 1060 Gaming X MSI Z170A Motherboard Ballistix 12GB DDR4 Ram (One stick to make it 16 wasn't able to fit because of the cooler) Corsair H80i Liquid Cooler Intel i7-6700k Samsung 850 EVO 1TB Corsair 750W PSU |

Alright I am genuinely confused as to what's happening here.
Let's start with the standout thing. You got the tippy top of the CPU market from Intel... But you got Nvidia's lowest tier graphics card. What's going on here? Genuinely confused. An i7 won't help your gaming. Get an i5, save like what, 100 bucks? Toss that at the GPU. You're set up with like a 1070 or whatever.
Next thing that stands out. The stupidly advanced Mobo. Why?! It's like 200 dollars! Are you mad?! You know the 120 dollar ones have almost all the same features and look cool too, right? Bam. More money saved for you. You're welcome.
Can you explain to me why a H80i won't fit your Ram? I can understand like a noctua, but I have 16GB of RAM in my PC, with a Corsair 110, and it fits fine n' dandy. And that's like a big boy cooler. Corsair Vengeance RAM. Not low profile. But proper full size heat spreader. What you just said isn't computing here.
While on the topic of the h80i, why not just get an h100i? It's bigger. Thinner. Works more better! (tm). If you got that big ol motherboard in there, I know you have an ATX size case. Every mid size tower should be able to fit a 120x240mm rad. It's not that hard.
Why a 1TB SSD? Do you /need/ that? That's adding such unnecessary price. Get like, a 512, and a 1TB HDD. Or a 2TB one. Your storage is increased, you still boot stupid fast, and everybody is happy because you have enough storage for all your weird tumbl######ures that you download for later.
And finally. You have an overkill PSU. Realistically the build you listed will use like 300 watts at full on kill me load.
You get a 3/10 for sloppy use of money, unbalanced CPU-GPU, Being a weirdo about RAM, aaannnddd of course that storage.
Or I could just say it looks like a stereotypical PC I would buy at Best-Buy that is labeled as a "Uber Gaming Machine twelve-thousand!"
