nice build - not sure you are going to do a lot better for the money - i mean you could save like $10-20 if you bought 4x8GB sticks (if you can find them) but thats about it i think - otherwise liking the pairing of the parts you have

and i didnt even see that before, but unless you need some crazy specific reason like you need ultra low latency because your producing music in cubase or something, you really dont need to bother with a soundcard - the z170 motherboards actually have pretty good sound anyway, so unless your spending a load youre not gonna improve the quality
