The mainboard is absolute overkill for the CPU. Get an H110 or B150. The one you picked is overpriced and useless for your setup.

Z170 are only for people with an OC CPU which you don't have.

Annoyingly the configurator on https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/ doesn't let me pick a cheaper motherboard with the rest of the spec.

I can choose a different category of desktop pc's and that'll have a more modest board but then you can't do things like have DDR4 RAM

DDR4 is useless too.

If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
