Need help with choosing parts for my new build

IMO, try to buy a monitor you can actually see.

I had a Samsung a couple years ago, and if I was to buy a monitor again, I would buy another Samsung. Best color, contrast, and brightness I have ever had in a monitor.

I have an Asus now. It is ok, but it has a couple color issues I can't seem to fix.

I have never bought a Phillips. Mostly because I have never cared for the color or brightness of any that I have seen in person. But I will say it has been a few years.

So I updated the components a bit based on your advice, guys. Unfortunately, I can't get that Zalman ZM600-LX for the price I listed above where I'm shopping. It costs €55 and that puts right next to the Corsair VS550, Fortron Hyper 600 and Fractal Design Design Essence 600W. These are my options if 550W is the limit.

As for the monitor, I was told to get something more reputable (like an ASUS monitor in that price range), but why get a TN panel when I can have this AMVA? Btw. this is the cheapest AMVA monitor available afaik:

Surely, it can't be bad, right?

Hey guys, I'm thinking of going micro ATX, but I'm not good at judging motherboards.

Is the GIGABYTE Z170M-D3H as good as the GIGABYTE Z170-HD3P?

And how do they compare to the ASROCK Z170M PRO4S / ASROCK Z170 PRO4S?
Which one would you rather have?

As for the monitor, I can return it in 30 days if it's bad.

Would get the Asrock Z170 Pro4S, NON-M version. Assuming you don't mind the price.

They're all the same price. Then there's also the AsRock Z170 PRO4 (non-S version) with large heat sinks and whatnot. I don't know how important they are though.
