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

Erm, light gaming as in what type of games at what resolution

im 99% sure you don't need a 5820k for a bunch of chrome tabs/photo editing, A xeon or a stock i7 non K or a decent i5 will do just fine

Mostly dota 2, but sometimes i play witcher 3, gta V, tomb raider (not to often).. at ultrawide 3440/1440

Save $200 on the ram

You will see absolutely ZERO real world performance difference between these two sets. Having faster ram does NOT make your computer run faster AT ALL.

Then, take that $200 and buy a 1080. That is a much much much better way to spend your money. 

No performance difference between the coolers. Go for it.

Motherboard will do you good. Not too many bells and whistles.

PSU is solid

You can never have too much RAM capacity, but you can waste money on RAM speed.
