Build advice

[Flo]

Hi everyone. After reading the forums for some time I decided to go with the bellow specs and would like to have your opinions on this. Many thanks to Oussebon who made a few suggestions. The build will be used for gaming(nothing extreme) and some programming. The cost of this build is £1329 which is at the top end of my budget but can spend a little more if it will be worth it in the long run. I am planning to add a SSD myself when the budget will allow it. Got one of the Samsung NVME drives in my Defiance II and will probably remain loyal to the brand. Will I need any extra case fans? Have not owned a desktop in ages and I am not too familiar with the concept.
Also, can anyone recommend a budged friendly keyboard and mouse? Preferably around £50-75 mark, less if possible. I tend to play games like Dota 2, Counter Strike, GTA V.
Another thing that just came to mind, what do you guys think of the monitor? Should I stick with the ASUS or should I choose something between AOC G2460PF 24"/IIYAMA GB2488HSU-B2 24"/BENQ ZOWIE XL2411 24". I read a few reviews but could not find any made by the same website to draw a comparison.

I'd suggest the Gigabyte Z170X Gaming 3 over the Asus Z170-E as it has better USB 3.1 options and slightly better onboard sound for £7 more. I think it also has more USB ports too.

If you want a gaming keyboard and mouse combo you get the CM Storm Devastator II KB+Mouse combo for £29. Or some misc brand stuff off Amazon. Some of the cheap stuff is actually quite decent. I wouldn't really bother spending more. You can start off with some reasonably entry-level stuff, and as you use it you'll get a sense of what features you use, what you don't, and maybe what would be an upgrade in the future.

I read a few reviews but could not find any made by the same website to draw a comparison.

The Tiny Url links are all to a website called PCMonitors. However if I post the actual links the PCS forum spam filter eats my posts pretty much without fail. Even though it's probably the most thorough of all the review websites on there. PC Monitors has 3 of the 4 covered, while bit-tech, Tom's and Techradar each have two of them. Hopefully that helps you a little with your comparison shop anyway

I might be temped by the AOC - the PCMonitors site seems to score it a bit higher than the others, and bit tech seem happy with it. But that's just based on a scan of the reviews (and I like AOC).

Thanks a lot Oussebon. I have taken in your advice about the motherboard, just could not amend it online at the moment. Might just have to wait and call in the morning.
As for the keyboard and mouse combo, it seems pretty good for my needs and it's not too pricey. I'll have a look at the reviews and decide about the monitor. So in essence, whichever one of the 4 mentioned should do the job just fine.
I might also up the storage to the 2TB one as it's not a big diference in price.
