I am a first time builder and have decided on the following parts. Will mainly be using it for gaming. I have not decided if I want to overclock it yet but I intend to keep my options open(I probably will in the future). Please advise on the parts chosen.

Mobo: Asus Z170 Pro Gaming Aura (PC Themes)
CPU: i5-6600K (PC Themes)
Cooler: Cryorig H5 Universal (PC Themes)
PSU: EVGA G2 750W (PC Themes)
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LED 2666 2x8GB (Cybermind)
GPU: Asus Strix GTX 1070 OC (Carousell)
SSD: Samsung 850 Evo 500GB (Amazon)
HDD: WD Black 2TB (PC Themes)
Case: CM MasterCase Pro 5 (Lazada)
OS: Windows 10




Some questions that I have is that

1) Does the EVGA PSU sold in Singapore have a local 3 pin plug or must I use it with an adaptor?

2) What difference is there between the Win10 Education and Win10 Home/Pro?

anyway do u have any budget for your system?

even though i stiill think that if u not gonna oc can consider getting
H110 or B150 + i5 6500
stock cooler
normal cheap rams
550~600W psu
wind 10 get from reddit.

One thing I did forget to mention is that this build is intended to last me at least 4-5 years. I am planning to OC it over time hence the decision the get the Z board

Ram wise is more for aesthetics TBH but I may still drop down to the LPX to save a bit of money

Intending to add more peripherals over time so I feel that the 750W is to future-proof

Budget wise I would say 2.5k? Of course the cheaper the better but thats the amount I'm willing to spend if I can get many good years out of this build
