I would get the i7-6700k and wait to see what Pascal/Polaris has to offer. If what they bring to the table this year isn't that big of a difference, you can always get the 380x or equivalent GPU, its your call.

think that polaris/pascal version sth like r9 380 would be good for 1080p?

Looking at NVIDIA's Release plan for the past few years he would have to wait another 2-almost 3 months. I would probably do the same thing if I was to build a rig today though ... So props to you.

it sounds like you don't need a system urgently which really helps the case. Since AMD will come out with some new stuff as well I would not take a decision so early. Zen could be awesome, pascal could bebetter, or worse. Who knows. I personally would wait if I was you. Once reviewers get their first samples (hopefully this includes LTT. If not it will at least be covered in the WAN show) we will have a rough idea of what's coming. I wouldn't jump on any card(GPU) as long there are still terrible driver issues after release out there but that would be my last concern holding me back. 

 

Yeah, so that is how I would go about it.
