1st Build - Please let me know if this all works together?
I put this parts list together and am looking for some advice. I have a 1070 GPU that I plan on using. Any suggestions would be great! I plan on gaming, mostly Tomb Raider, Civ VI, CK2, and MOBAs.

It's a solid build all around. I noticed you included three motherboards, obviously you only need one. Of the three listed I'd probably go with the MSI board since it's the least expensive of the three. There's a couple other things I'd change as well, but otherwise it looks good.
I'd personally go with a little beefier of a cooler for the 10600k, the NH-L9i you chose there is a low-profile cooler designed for lower-power CPUs. It would probably be okay for stock-only usage, but ideally you'd be overclocking since the 10600k is unlocked and it definitely wouldn't be enough for that. Personally I'd look at the Noctua NH-U14S and NH-D15, or an AIO liquid cooler like an EVGA Kraken X53 or Corsair H100i. I think I'd also go with the Fractal Design Meshify C instead, since it's got better airflow than the design S2. -
Hi Tony,
Thanks so much for your feedback on my two posts. Yes, I had all three MOBOs in there so people could choose for me, haha. Wasn't sure about that, but the MSI looks good and solid from reviews I read. The cooler you are 100% correct. I wanted the NH-D15 but my local Micro Center does not carry it right now, so I went with what they had. I will make sure to buy the correct one for when I build. Thanks for the case suggestion! I'm all about airflow.
