Gigabyte GTX960 G1 GAMING 4GB GDDR5 PCI-E

Intel Core I7 6700K 4GHz (4.2GHz Turbo) 8MB BOX

Corsair Obsidian 750D

Seasonic M12II-850 Evo 850W 80PLUS Bronze (Modular)

Asus Gravador BLU-RAY 16X ( BW-16D1HT/BLK/B )

Samsung Evo 850 SSD M.2 Sata III 250GB

G.Skill Ripjaws V Red DDR4 2x16GB 2133MHz CAS15

Delock PCI Express Card > 4 X Internal SATA 3 Gb/S - 89280

And i have at home this

4x 320gb 7200rpm sata 8mb cache

If you are building a gaming machine, you will want to spend much less on your CPU and much more on your GPU.

Whoa, whoa, whoa

Too much CPU, not enough GPU

I recommend using PCPartPicker for the build. Also, a dedicated data-center(i would assume its a NAS), to be on its own and not part of your main system

the i7-6700k is a great cpu for gaming. especially when it comes to newer titles. that being said, if you are constricted by a certain budget, i would get a 6600k with a better gpu instead. if you can afford the 6700k and still get a better gpu than the 960, then that would be fine as well. 

 

for example, i would recommend an r9 390 or r9 390x or a gtx 980 if you're planning on keeping the i7

Get some i5 6600k with R9 390 or R9 390x, i7 with GTX 960 its a big waste of money.

1. Get a cheaper case (Phantek Enthoo Pro)

2. Get that model of PSU but only 650W or below (but no lower than 500W)

3. Ditch the Blu-ray drive unless you have Blu-ray movie discs

4. Get 16GB of ram only, 32 is too much for your datacenter setup

5. Swap the mobo to something like a Gigabyte Z170 SLI or MSI Z170 Krait Gaming or cheaper

6. IMPORTANT: Swap the 960 for an R9 390 - Massive GPU horsepower increase

 

With those change I'm pretty confident that you can keep the i7, if not then swap to 6600K

Can't say. The way in which games utilise the CPU may change.

Sandy Bridge from 2011 is still holding up well so maybe 5 years max?

GarnetDevil i hate ati/amd so i never use a ati graphic card, and i think in the future use Watercolling. This power was to plug 8 internal drives plus the cpu plus the gpu and Watercolling. Yes i will think if i change gpu gtx960 to a 980ti.

That's a huge budget difference imo

My dream case was 950D. So all parts are here except sata controller

http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/diogolopes18/saved/g49gXL

 

You don't have enough SATA ports for all those hard drives. Do you really need 8 of them ?

 

For the Ram get 2 x 8GB instead of 1 x 16GB.

 

That Seasonic power supply is supposedly noisy. I would look at something else such as a EVGA G2/GS or Corsair RMx.

 

Go with the SATA version of the Samsung 850 SSD.

Yes, i need all of them and the start os discussion i put the controller sata there. It has more 4 sata connetions. And i think if a achive 64gb of ram i need a 16gb slot.
