All your motherboard needs to do is run your components, all these "gaming" boards are pretty gimmicky and don't have much return on cost, I prefer Asus. All your motherboard needs is the ports you require so don't let people say you need a crazy mobo. 8gb is plenty good to start with, you will be able to play games just fine. I would hold off on the aio liquid cooler, stock will be fine for now, put the money to a full size 1060 6gb.perfromance cooling is good, but it's not like your system will try without it. You can get a liquid cooler later. Solid build.
