So here the partlist, I´m only using PCPartpicker for reference

I´m gonna try explain why I choose every part, any feedback or doubt will be greatly aprecciated

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/nDjxZL

i5 6600k

My FX 6300 is reaching 100% while playing BF4, really want to jump into SkyKek and DDR4, AMD is good while in a budget, but isnt cutting for me anymore

CM Hyper EVO 212

Had the 212 plus on my previous build, good price/performance/noise

GA-Z170X-Gaming 5

Was between this and the Maximus Hero, after seeing the price of the Hero my choice was sealed

Hyper X Fury 16GB

It just werks , also I love the heatsink

Samsung 950

Gonna be used for my OS, main programs, and my favorite games

Why not a normal SSD? Really want to save those seconds in booting up

Seagate 3TB

I´m a hoarder of series, music and other media, one drive for mass storage another one for back up

GTX 980 TI, really a placeholder for a GTX 1080

Want the top of the line for 1440p gaming, cant afford to wait for the Ti version as my old 680 isnt up for that resolution

Case

From previous build

PSU

Semi-modular- Gold- 5 years warranty

Fans

Gonna replace all the stock fans with AF 140 and replace the ones from the cpu cooler with the SP120

Monitors

Vesa compatible as I will mount them in a single arm,loved the thin bezels

Pretty sexy. I'm loving the case, are you going for a specific coloring theme?

And I'm not gonna comment on the 980TI 1080 debate, though you could probably use a 770/960 as a placeholder for now if you want to wait, they're insanely cheap right now. Saw a guy get a 770 for 80USD.

Get a EVGA G2 750W. Thy're fully modular, and much better quality. And around $20 cheaper I think. 3TB Seagate drives are notoriously bad. Go with 4TB, or a different brand.

Think I didnt explain myself, I´m gonna buy all together, so I just put the Ti in PCP to factor the price, I dont intend to buy it

As for theme I´m going with the clasic Red/Black
