    Help a noob. New build this week.

    So im prepping to order a new build this coming week. Trying to get as much bang for my buck as possible so I’ve been trying to cut down the unneeded fat for this build.

    Case: Phanteks Enthoo Pro M PH-ES515PA – $69.90
    (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811854027)

    Motherboard: MSI Z170A Krait Gaming 3X - $149.99
    (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811854027)

    GPU: GTX 1060 GAMING X 3G – $229.99
    (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814137033)

    CPU: Intel Core i5-6600K 6M Skylake Quad-Core 3.5 – $239.99
    (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819117561)

    Ram: CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) - $92.99
    (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820233831)

    Where can I dumb parts down and where can I tune some parts for the better? Budget is important, not all items are listed but sticking with a budget of around $900. This computer is not for mulititasking for a purpose of a work station.
