Thoughts on the build? Problems I might have building it? Things I should have done?

desu it was on sale for less than the air cooled GPUs. Also all the reviews on it was pretty great. No reported issues with the pump or leaks. Only a few saying the radiator fan is quite loud.
Maximus VIII Hero has had a lot of strange problems, according to review. One guy even had smoke coming out. I would go with Asus Z170-A.

Almost went with Asus Sabertooth Z170 Mark 1, but then I read on how little or difficult it is to overclock on it.
>Not getting an HDD along with your SSD
Or do you already have one? I always end up with a ton of spare HDDs after a couple years of building.

The Z170-A overclocked an i5 6600k fine for me. 4.7 Ghz.

Recently it haw been showing there are actual improvements in frame rates for ram heavy games now than the initial DDR4 Boom so step off mate.

I have a few Samsung Evo 500GB and a Samsung Pro 256 that are just collecting dust and also quite a few 1 terabyte HDD's too. No problem with those.
>>51480181
I truly debated going with that CPU. I decided to throw down a little extra dough on the i7 tho. Fucking Newegg out of stock so had to go to Amazon and found super over priced... but fuck it YOLO

>No M.2
The reason the i7 is overpriced is Black Friday is coming up: companies jack up the price of shit leading up to it because 40% off looks better than 20% off and it's actually the same price (20% off being applied to the non-jacked up price). Tbh I would've waited until then to buy anything.

Look again. There is... but unfortunately only 1

You're probably right but I wish I knew how to be patient.
