I5-6600k, R9 390, MSI Z170A Gaming M7. I'm about to pull trigger. Any opinions?

###Build Help/Ready: Build Ready

What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better.

General gaming and schoolwork machine. No planned video editing or any production work.

Mostly Battlefield 4/5, GTA, Tomb Raider, etc. This is my first build. Trying to move away from consoles.

If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, FPS, game settings)

1080p, roughly 60fps with high settings. I'm not super concerned with framerate except for shooters.

What is your budget (ballpark is okay)?

$1500 maximum.

In what country are you purchasing your parts? United state

I'm still not entirely sure what's the best way to pick up windows 10.

Thank you very much. I'm just looking to see if anyone has any opinions before I pull the trigger.
