Hi Jura! I printed out your lists and I will take it to a local place that can assemble them--I have installed Ram and I did once format a hard drive--by putting everything into a giant C drive :D But now I have a list and the compatibility of the parts has been checked (that is what worried me the most about building my own from different parts) so I think I am ready to give it a try! And thank you so much!! I will add some little things like a DVD burner and a sound system and a backup external drive, but I think I can manage those if I wait another month (and there might be a sale of some of the parts in January :D )

Hi there

I would do that same there,they should be able build for you nice PC with those parts,just I would say,keep OS on SSD and on that giant HDD keep yours runtimes or yours personal files,I usually have several HDD in my PC and my runtimes are on normal HDD where I'm happy with them,no problems etc

Regarding the DVD burner,get something like is cheap external those cost around $20USD and sound card or sound system,Z170 motherboards do have nice sound card already ALC1150 and sound of that sound card is pretty much great,I make music and I use same sound card and I'm very happy,regarding the best sound system,have look on active studio monitors those cost around $100-$300 and they sound lot better than Logitech sound systems,have look on this

Hope this helps and all the best with build

Thanks,Jura
