Update: Did a few modifications...
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z170-HD3
CPU: Intel Core i5 6400 2.7 GHz
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16GB
SSD: Western Digital NVMe 256 M.2 SSD*
HDD: Western Digital 4 TB Black*; WD 1 TB Blue
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB*
Case: Fractal Design Define C Tempered Glass edition*
Power Supply: Corsair HX750i 80+ Platinum*

I also got a Corsair Commander fan controller and some RGB fans. I also bought some CableMod cables and have everything colored orange; just because Red and Blue seem so overdone.

Mine is nothing special but it lets me do the things I want it to:

CPU: Core i5 2500K
Motherboard: ASUS P8P67 Rev 3.1
RAM: 8GB OCZ DDR3-1600
HDD: 500GB Western Digital SATA III
Graphics Card: Zotac GeForce GTX1060 3GB
Case: Antec Dark Fleet DF-35
Power Supply: Antec 800W
Keyboard: Logitech G910 Orion Spectrum RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard
Mouse: Logitech G502 Proteus Spectrum RGB Tuneable Gaming Mouse

Sure it's older hardware now but I have a slight overclock to the RAM and CPU which has helped, the next upgrade is a Samsung EVO 860 1TB SSD as the bottleneck is the 500GB HDD at this point.

Aside from changing the cable coloring, and a Noctua CPU cooler, there are no other hardware changes. In all honesty, if I could go back to when I initially built my PC, I would have gone with white wires first.
