And another thing:
I am planning on buying everything in the first week of the summer vacation. That means the parts will have to be released before then.
 
I just noticed something:
My case I have right now (Haf 932) does not have USB 3.0 ports.
Is that crucial to have or can I just use this case anyway?

I was just looking for an alternative, for if it wouldn't suffice (is that the right word..?) anymore, and noticed the Haf X. It looked good until I looked at the prices. €179,- !?

Of course I could just replace the card reader I have now with this one: Sharkoon Media Reader III - Prijzen - Tweakers (Could be in Dutch :cheeky)

That is pretty much exactly what I wanted and have now!
I like having one of those on the front, for just in case I once need it.
The one you recommended is a little more expensive than the one I found, but yours seems better.
 
It should work fine, however memory can be very tricky and incompatibilities can crop up from time to time. Your best bet is to have a look through the Qualified Vendor List for the ASUS Z170-A. The memory listed in that PDF has been verified to work with the motherboard by ASUS. Based on my personal experience though, I would highly recommend Kingston over G.Skill!

Oh? Why is that, if I may ask?

My father has a question about Newegg;
He wonders if there are any extra costs, because I live in the Netherlands.
I've never bought anything online, really, so I wouldn't know anything about buying stuff from America.

Transport costs, for certain. And also delivery time; it'll be a while before it gets here.
Surely you can order from a place closer to home? :confused:

And I looked at the G.Skill RAM and it said this: Untitled.png .

I can buy the i7-6700k 1151 Box on the "Dutch Newegg", bol.com.
But it looks like I can't find a (reasonably priced, they're €161,99!) Asus Z170 there, though..
And the Antec 750 and an EVGA 1070 are not there, at all!
 
Did you try to specifically order through a specialised computer store?
Ask the guys from Hardware Outlet if they can order that stuff.
 
On their website I have managed to find the i7, but the only 1070 they have is the MSI Founders Edition, which is worse and more expensive than the EVGA 1070's (Not really released yet, though).
Anything Antec related is not there to be seen.
And the only Z170's they have are from MSI..
 
You can ask them. If they don't have it, at least they'll probably know better where to get that kind of stuff in The Netherlands.

Kingston thoroughly test each batch of ram before they produce memory chips with it. You can read a lot more detail about it here : Testing | Kingston

The Kingston sticks I had in my old Desktop PC lasted 8+ years with no issues whatsoever. They would still be going if my power supply hadn't died.

I am not sure about the shipping costs, I know they do ship to the Netherlands, but I do not know what those shipping costs would be. Though I do imagine they would probably be a bit more expensive. You should be able to see the shipping costs in your cart before you place the order. You could also check with Newegg support to be certain.
 
And I looked up Kingston RAM, but they all look very much the same..
The only difference is the speed.
I'll take the fastest one :D

Should I do that? Or should I get another one? I looked them up in the chart of the Z170 compatibility and it should work.
 
I asked my cousin which site he reccomends. He said 4launch.nl would be a good website.
They seem to have everything I need there too.

And I have one question: What is the difference between the "Box" and the "Tray" version of CPUs? I thought it was that the box version had a cooler and other accessories and the tray only was the CPU, but the website said the package does not contain cooler??
