MSI Z270 Gaming Pro Carbon is a very good Motherboard, 3 x M.2 slots, Steel Armoured PCIE slots, excellent BIOS and a wee bit cheaper than ASUS at £169 at OCUK. https://www.overclockers.co.uk/msi-z270-gaming-pro-carbon-intel-z270-socket-1151-ddr4-atx-motherboard-mb-31e-ms.html
Corsair LPX 16G dual channel kit, 2400Mhz at £129 OCUK. https://www.overclockers.co.uk/corsair-vengeance-lpx-16gb-2x8gb-ddr4-pc4-19200c14-2400mhz-dual-channel-kit-black-cmk16gx4m2a24-my-439-cs.html
For cooling i would recommend an AIO water cooler but seeing as it's only for the CPU all you need is a 120mm rad, Corsair H60i £100 at OCUK. https://www.overclockers.co.uk/corsair-hydro-series-h80i-v2-extreme-performance-liquid-cpu-cooler-cw-9060024-ww-hs-037-cs.html
Or if Air cooling is what you want then i recommend the Noctua NH-D15 £77 at OCUK but case dimensions are a must to double check that it fits as it's huge. https://www.overclockers.co.uk/noctua-nh-d15-dual-radiator-quiet-cpu-cooler-with-two-nh-a15-fans-hs-026-nc.html
The LPX memory is a MUST with an air cooler
