What's the GPU?

You don't need a 1000w PSU

You can save £50 easily by buying the i7, a Z170 and 16gb separately. A 600w PSU is more than enough for this build. You can get a GTX 1070 with the money saved from splitting the CPU bundle.

What's this being used for?

Zero. Motherboard will have no effect on performance, generally speaking. Unless you need extra PCI lanes, support for M.2 drives or other specialist stuff just get a cheap and cheerful one.

If you won't be overclocking there's no need in even a Z170

The 2nd build sacrifices a Z170 mobo for H110, and lower RAM speed (~5% performance).
