So i intend to use my PC for video and picture editting, light gaming, watching movies and lots of browsing, with too many tabs (20+ tabs all the time),
so i want my PC to be fast as possible, and durable (to last 3-5 years), i want to know is something here overkill for my build and my needs and if it is, should i go invest in something more usefull
Few questions-Should i maybe go with x99 mobo and 6 core cpu, should i go with 1080 gpu (i could give 200$ more if it will be usefull), should i go with 2x8gb ram sticks instead of 32(and if i do, can i upgrade to 32gb
in the future, with no side effects), is my choice for PSU good and safe.

Just to be clear, i want powerfull rig, that i dont need to upgr in the near future (3-4 years)

So if you had any experiance with above named components, let me know

I am from EU, and this build costs me there 3750€, im limited to 3850€

only thing id change is the PSU.

On the motherboard picture, there are 4 ram slots. If you buy 2x 8gb sticks of ram right now, you can later upgrade it to 4x 8 gb sticks of ram. (or even mix/match to 2x 8gb, and 2x 16 gb) Mobo supports up to 64 gb of ram.

There are newer and better models of the H100i out (the current one is H100i V2). Unless there is some deliberate reason you chose the H100i, you should pick up H100i GTX or H100i V2

If you really wanted your 6 core options, you could definitely pick that up without really adjusting your budget. get a 6800k (or 5820k), get only 16GB of ram instead of 32, and don't buy a premium motherboard like you did with Z170 deluxe. I don't know how this translates into your currency, but the deluxe is about twice as expensive as a reasonable middle of the road Z170 model (like the Z170-A from Asus) If you don't mind getting something like a X99-A, you should be able to quite easily pull that off (or just pony up a few more bucks). Something to note, you could also keep your 32GB of ram if you don't get dominators. I know they look sexy, and arguably have some of the best specs for RAM on the market today, but they are also MUCH more expensive. You can get a 32GB kit like Corsair Vengeance LPX, G.skill Trident, or some other still good looking ram kits for much less. As far as if it would be "useful" to get X99, its tough to say. an overclocked 6700k would also do well at pretty much anything. But at the same time, if you're already spending 3500 bucks on a computer, its only like 5%-10% more to get a 6 core instead of a 4 core (assuming you don't trim the cost from elsewhere in your computer as suggested)

Lastly is the power supply. That I don't know much about that specific model. Never heard of it, never used it. Briefly looking at some online reviews it seems its a decent model, but most of them comment of the low quality components they use in its construction (although I don't see any of them saying the PSU is "bad") it has a 5 Year warranty, but that should be fine. If you're unsure about it, I would recommend something like a EVGA supernova G2 or Corsair RMX/RMi series if you want to make sure you have some decent quality in your build. You also don't really need more than 550-600 watts if you never intend to SLI (even if you end up going for X99, this wattage would do you fine). So you could save yourself a few bucks in quantity, and throw that into quality if you wished.

I know that it supports 64gb, but would ram sticks be compatible 2x8gb and later + another 2x8gb, if they are not quadkit and what if their speed dont match up?

Yes im aware of this models, if they are better in performance ill go with one of them
 

I went with deluxe, cause i heard its better at overclocking but if it isnt worth the money ill go with z170-A
I am going with dominators mostly because of aesthetics, I want my PC to be sexy as possible (White/Black + RGB colors)
What are your suggestions considering x99 mobo that will match my theme and cpu? I already said that i dont intend to use my rig for heavy fps gaming (only a bit of dota 2 here and then)

 

I'll look into that PSU, i read reviews and they are great!

For X99 boards, Asus also makes the X99 deluxe, basically same thing as the Z170 deluxe, but X99 chipset. They also make an X99-A in case its too pricey for you. And yes, dominators sure are pretty =). G.skill Trident 3200 MHz comes in black and white (also in other frequencies as well), looks pretty good, and would be a fair bit cheaper than dominators (no LED's though)

Here is a video on the new/relaunched X99 boards from Asus, and you can see a black and white Trident memory kit in one of them.
