Hi, I would like to know what do you think about this kind of budget build for editing/gaming/streaming and also for upgradability.                                                                                           Corsair Air 240 
Intel I6500 
Gigabyte GAH110M-S2HP mATX 
Corsair Dominator 16GB 2400mhz 
Nvidia Geforce 780TI 

Unless you already own the Dominator memory or someone is giving it to you, don't waste the money. Check out lower cost kits like G.Skill NT, Corsair Vengeance LPX, etc.

I kind of should have mentioned that I would like skylake since im really looking to buy in 8-15 months i7 6700 but after I make the build.

Consider cheaping out on a skylake i3 and getting a 390 or 970, since you're going to get a 6700 in the future.

But using this build and the motherboard and gtx 960 4gb with an i3 6100 will not be bottleneck? Cause I will need this for streaming, video editing and mostly like GTA V and HITMAN and the latest games while recording 1080p.

But using Gigabyte GAH110M-S2HP mATX motherboard and gtx 960 4gb with an i3 6100 will not be bottleneck? Cause I will need this for streaming, video editing and mostly like GTA V and HITMAN and the latest games while recording 1080p. And will it perform okay or almost as good as an i5? Cause I dont want any stuttering or things like that while streaming.

If you really wanna do editing and streaming the Xeon is your best bet. An i3 would certainly be less than ideal for this kind of workload.

Ok but im also looking for newer thing like skylake since in few years it will probably mainstream. But an i3 could handle this with no bottlenecks?

I don't think so. At least get a quad core.

An i3 is unlikely to handle the workload. An i3 is a bit less than half the cpu power of an i5.

So an i5 would be minimum if I want skylake. But an i5 with this motherboard and gtx 960 would be a bottleneck? And if I replace it with i7 6700 will there be something bottlenecked?

An i5 and the GTX 960 would work, though the Xeon would work even better.
