Good build plan?

[The Goose]

Hello everyone, I'm about to start a new build, and was wondering if there were any flaws with the build plan I have right now or if I should change anything: 

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

This build will be mainly for higher end gaming and some cpu intensive workloads such as video editing and 3D modeling.

Thanks to all

This makes it easier for us, instead of having to click on a link etc.

 

Is there a reason you went with Haswell instead of Skylake?

I'd spend more on the PSU.

You don't really need thermal paste.

Other than that it looks pretty good.

I would change it to this.

Not just because the processor is faster (barely so), but because higher memory bandwidth matters in games. DDR4 will give you a performance boost especially if you overclock the memory (dial in 1.35V and push the speed as far as you can, just like OCing a CPU. Turn on the XMP Profile if you don't want to mess with memory timings).

OK thanks for the tip, I'm kinda new here and this is my first post, but to answer your question I was going with a haswell instead of a skylake because through many benchmarks, I see that the skylake CPU doesn't have much difference than the haswell CPU that I am going for, (i7-4790k). And I'm kinda on a budget of like 1200$ and I'd have to get more expensive DDR4 memory as well as a Z-170 or other skylake supporting motherboard, which I don't see much a difference at all. As shown by Linus' video on DDR3 vs DDR4 apples to apples there wasn't much difference at all in gaming performance. And I believe it will be just fine for many CPU intensive programs (nothing too extreme). If I'm wrong please correct me and thank you for your submission.

OK, thanks, I like the price point for the Skylake build you gave me, because the main reason I went with Haswell(DDR3) build was because I thought it would have a huge impact on the cost, but this looks real close to my other build cost and yet would be more future proof, thanks, ill heavily consider this build. 

One question though, Why the 650 watt Power supply? I think that will the lower power consumption of skylake vs haswell and the new pascal GPUs, they wont need that much power. So I was (still am) deciding for a 500-600w probably 550w power supply, and I don't really want to spend more on electricity and a power supply if im probably not going to even use it. Correct me if I'm wrong please but would you think that 550w would be enough for a build like this?

Thank you for your comment

If you ever decide that you want another graphics card in there, 650W will make sure you don't have to upgrade your PSU

 

And even though SLI and CrossFire are a bit wonky right now, DX12's explicit multi adapter mode promises an improvement for multi-GPU experiences

 

Not to mention at $70 and with the kind of performance this power supply has, it's a no brainer choice despite the Bronze certification

You can't overclock with an H series motherboard, which is a huge part of the reason people get the unlocked chips.

Though, in this case, there's a bump in performance with the K even when it's not overclocked.

Im not really that big in overclocking, but would only really choose the 4790k over the cheaper 4790 would be for the additional 400mhz core clock for like 30-50 dollars more

Alright, I see... I don't know I might get another graphics card but with all the unoptimization and troubleshooting that goes in with multi-GPU configs I'm probably just going to upgrade the graphics card as to a single faster card rather than multiple "not as fast" cards. 

But I would like to stay in the safe zone for like power spikes and possibly new components, so thanks ill keep this in mind.
