If not planning to overlock might as well drop your processor and mobo and get a better gpu

Few things to change.

You wont need a unlock chip to get the most of it. Are you intending to overclock, are you intending to use any of skylakes offering such as m.2 or any other features?

If not you can wait slightly a little longer for skylake to come out with locked version i5 and more upcoming b150 and h170 motherboards to reduce the overall substantial savings.

I dont see why people die die must get a unlocked version when just because in the market only got z170. It is like forcing people just to buy high end board + processor.

TS. Things to note, you can wait for more stuffs to roll in.

Board + cpu buy locally to get the bundle discounts. No point buying it separate.

390x would be a better buy in local. If you can save up for board + cpu, you could land yourself with a 980ti instead.

But question is do you intend to go high res gaming? If so then invest on a 2k res monitor.
