What's your budget and intended use? Just gaming or are you streaming your gameplay, doing anything else?
There's also an easier way to post specs to the forums, especially if you want people to easily see them and give feedback. When you configure your spec, you can click "proceed" and on the next page there is a "post to forum" button which gives your spec in a format you can just copy-paste into your topic
Copying and pasting the PDF here for others' ref.

Looks good then.
I'd go for a pre-overclocked system with the Noctua cooler.
I'd also probably ditch the SSHD in favour of a regular HDD. It's like £45 more and won't improve gaming performance. Plus your favourite games will be on the SSD anyway.
£5 warranty upgrade is also something I'd get.
And I'd probably go with the Z270E mobo for the 2nd M.2 slot.
3200MHz RAM is faster and actually £3 cheaper than the 3000MHz stuff right now.

Right, listen to the man already. Put aside some budget for the SSD, you don't need anything else. Another HDD if only you love to store many of your HD movies.
