So I am building whole new pc from scratch

http://pcpartpicker.com/list/B6RpgL

 

Could you guys give me some advice, this is my first build and i want pc that will last me 3-5 years

I plan to use my pc for light gaming, tons of browsing (40+tabs), watching lots of movies and tv shows, video and photo editing

Should i go with skylake or x99 platform

I heared that skylake is faster than haswell at browsing internet (considering i will do this most of the time), but haswell is better at video and photo editing cause of extra cores, so what do you guys say?


Some other questions, is my motherboard pick good also PSU, ram sticks (is 32gb overkill?) and cpu cooler (is h100i v2 better than h100i, i would like to go with h100i because of looks, but if h100iv2 is much better ill go with it)

Do you guys have some other recommendations that would suit me better?
I am going with W/B build, so i want every component to be in black/white and grey

16gb is enough unless your like running 50 internet tabs at once, That monitor is way over priced for this build(its more than half of the pc price!!), get a hard drive or another ssd, 250gb is not enough, and you're already spending so much just get a 1080 or 1070 sli

Will those 32gb run significantly slower than 16gb duo to higher latency? or it is insignificantly change, i already have 1TB hdd, and i dont think that i will need more tha n 250gb ssd storage, i know that it is very expensive, but i am in love with ultra wide monitors and their FOV, what would be your suggestions on some 1440p monitors with ultra thin bezels? I dont think that i will have much use of 1080, cause its about 20% faster than 1070 and more than 30% expensive, maybe in future i will upgrade to 1070 sli, but i think for now one 1070 would be enough

I'm just staying that this build that you made is a terrible value and you can have a whole lot more performance per dollar if you look around a bit more. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00Q7VCSGU?linkCode=sl1&linkId=42396e5146ddfcf4afd42476b7ab87e4&pc_redir=T1&tag=digitren08-in-cont-20   I looked around a bit and found this and it seems like a decent monitor. The ram is way over priced, yes its corsair dominator but tests have shown there isn't much of a difference in performance(gaming, multitasking etc.) with the higher speeds of ram and you would have better value if you went for like 2 kits of 16gb hyper x ddr4 if you absolutely need 32 gb of ram although 32gb is way too much for any real life applications(gaming, video editing, multitasking etc.)

Oh and https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01CDYB5CW/ref=dp_ob_neva_mobile   also looks like a pretty good monitor and at a much cheaper price
