Skylake ITX

[Dislikeyou]

Hello, I haven't been active on this forum for a long time but now came here to get some input on my new build.

I sold my Z87 mATX PC with i5-4670K and I will be building Skylake mITX with i7 6700k, I know that Skylake won't be a big improvement from Haswell-R but I should notice decent performance increase from the i5 that I had, specially since I am doing video encoding.

I will be going with the following:

Case: Inwin D-Frame Mini
PSU: EVGA Supernova G2 750W, 80+ Gold, Modular
Motherboard: Z170 mITX
CPU: i7 6700K
Cooler: Noctua NH-U12P SE2
GPU: AMD R9 Nano (Will use the iGPU until Nano is available)
RAM: Corsair 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 2133Mhz Vengeance LPX
SSD; Samsung SSD EVO 850-Series 250GB (I also have a 3TB HDD for storage)

I am not sure yet what board I will get, I wanted to go with EVGA Z170 Stinger because I really like how it looks and the fact that there is a power and reset button on the mobo should the front panel buttons on the case fail, but I have been reading that EVGA mobos has buggy bios and is unstable so I will have to look at something else.

I will not overclock and will be using he PC for web surfing, gaming at 4K res (moba, mmo, rts), photoshop, encoding. I want the PC to be as quiet as possible since the case is open. I will buy all parts in Sweden. Budget is ca $1700.

Does this build look good or would you recommend me to change something?

Thanks

Till the boards are available you'll need to wait.

They aren't loaded into PartPicker yet. Neither are the CPUs.

Cooler: Noctua NH-U12P SE2

That cooler looks like a glorified, overpriced Hyper 212 Evo. I'd just get one of those (a Hyper 212 Evo) and then maybe swap out fans if it's not quiet enough.

For quiet, I hear Fury X is top-notch, so you might want to look into one of those. Though, of course, Nano isn't out either.
