Considering a new build for gaming. Thoughts/suggestions?

[darthdab]

Gaming will be the primary and most intense use of this computer. Maybe Twitch streaming, but it's not a priority. Currently using an Asus 1080p monitor. Might consider a 1440p for the future.

I don't overclock.

Also don't exactly have a set budget, just prefer best bang for the buck. Usually like to keep it below $1000 when I upgrade, but I'm flexible and I have a few extra things here (gaming controller, Windows 10 OS, heatsink/fan).

Considering the following:

Already have:
Corsair RM1000x 1000W power supply $129.99 (I know this is overkill, but it seemed like a good deal, it'll likely last a very long time and if I ever do need the extra power, I'll have it.)

What do you all think?

Your PSU is bit of a overkill , and like you said your screen is the odd ball remaining.

Are you overclocking(nevermind you said no)? the Z170 you linked is a very good deal , so not even going to suggest going anything lower but since you going a little bit for bang for buck not 100% sure a 6600K + heatsink is worth it over a 6600. Depends a lot on prices and deals you can make.

Missing SSD/HDD? or am i blind.

I forgot to mention my drives, which I've added. I'm good there.

The 6600 (3.3GHz) is $229.99 at Newegg and comes with a heatsink/fan.

The 6600K (3.5GHz) is also $229.99, but no heatsink/fan, hence I added the Cooler Master for an extra $30. I figured get the 6600K since it's currently $20 off and a little faster, although needing to get a heatsink/fan does add to the cost. On the other hand, if the Cooler Master is compatible with future CPU sockets, it'll carry over for future builds and it's better quality than the stock heatsink/fan. Maybe the extra $30 isn't worth it since I don't plan to overclock?

Actually just realized I could get:
Intel Xeon E3-1225 v5 SkyLake 3.3 GHz 8MB L3 Cache LGA 1151 80W BX80662E31225V5 Server Processor
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117612&ignorebbr=1 $234.99

I currently use a Xeon in my gaming PC and it works just fine. Now I'm thinking the Xeon may be the way to go as it includes a heatsink/fan and is probably a little better than the i5 6600 for about the same cost.

With Skylake, Intel requires Xeons to have their own special chipset. So you'd need a different board for a Xeon. I'm not sure if it allows overclocking the RAM either.

He has the PSU all ready, and a lot of other things, so it's irrelevant.

Looks like a pretty nice build to me at any rate.

I've never used a 6600K myself, still running an old X5680 at 4.5 on the main rig, but the 6600K's OC very well from everything I've read.

Even nice if you do not overclock, I'm sure.

What I would buy if I were building myself atm.

I'm an ASUS mobo fanboi, so might splurge a bit more there, other than that looks like something I'd build myself at any rate.

Learned something new.

Sounds like everyone is agreeable for the most part.
