wouldnt get the i7 go with the i5 6600k and change the motherboard to the maximus hero VIII saves you about 250 bucks you can put elsewhere, the 6600k can be stable at 4.7ghz OC which is more than enough for just gaming. 

If you agree with my advice/Recommendation please give me a thumbs up. Thank you

I7 has been proven to be overkill and a waste of money for just gaming, especially with the 6600k being able to hit 4.7ghz easily. its all you will need for gaming at a much lower price point.

Solid choices all around, but why go with the PG278Q when the new one is out? The Pg279Q...  Its IPS which means way better colours and better viewing Angeles and it can do 165hz... 

 

Only down side is the slightly slower Grey to Grey but you will never notice.

In my opinion, the skylake platform is suited for me beacuse i won't use a triple GPU config to benefit from those extra PCI lanes 

Fair enough, but you would get more cores for arguable about the same price. Not to mention more pci e lanes for the heck of it.

i wasnt putting down your recommendation, more so just adding to it, i mean the guy obviously has money to throw at this computer, considering the one i built is 1/3 the cost of what hes building but very close to what hes got. 

If you agree with my advice/Recommendation please give me a thumbs up. Thank you

And later on you can upgrade by adding a graphics card

Or by adding 1 of the new upcoming x99 cpu´s
