Gaming PC Build

[French Bread]

Hello, thanks for stopping by.

 

I'm building a Gaming PC and would like help to pick the appropriate parts.

 

CPU: Intel Core i7-6800K 3.4GHz 6-Core Processor 
CPU Cooler: CRYORIG R1 Ultimate 76.0 CFM CPU Cooler  ($89.00 @ Amazon) 
Motherboard: Asus X99-A II ATX LGA2011-3 Motherboard  ($225.99 @ SuperBiiz) 
Memory: Kingston HyperX Fury Black 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2133 Memory  ($73.99 @ Newegg) 
Storage: Samsung 850 EVO-Series 500GB 2.5" Solid State Drive  ($154.84 @ Amazon) 
Storage: Western Digital Blue 4TB 3.5" 5400RPM Internal Hard Drive  ($129.13 @ Amazon) 
Storage: Western Digital BLACK SERIES 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive  ($69.00 @ B&H) 
Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1070 8GB G1 Gaming Video Card  ($419.99 @ SuperBiiz) 
Case: NZXT Noctis 450 ATX Mid Tower Case  ($136.99 @ SuperBiiz) 
Power Supply: Corsair 850W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply  ($149.99 @ Amazon) 
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 Home OEM 64-bit  ($83.89 @ OutletPC) 
Total: $1532.81

 

My budget is $1400, so this build is slightly over, but I'm fine with that.

 

But the question is:

 

Is it justifiable to buy the 6800K over the 6700K and the Asus X99-A II motherboard over the Asus Z170-PRO?

just gaming? get the 6600k to save money.

For this price range I would rather save on the CPU/MB, get some i5 6600k, and get some GTX 1080, or just save some money, also I dont think that the WD Black is necessary if you have a good conection to just download the games when you need them with the SSD.

Few questions.

This looks more like a gaming/recording/streaming rig. Where the 1TB is for a massive Steam library and the 4TB is to save VODs or Recordings and a 500GB for the OS and frequently used programs and games and the i7-6800k, this screams a recording/streaming/gaming rig.

The PSU is overpriced, you won't see it anyways in a Noctis 450 so just get a 850w EVGA GQ/GS/G2 or any XFX or SeaSonic.

Why those specific motherboards? Not that I have a problem with Asus's products but I do disagree with what people deal with in an RMA for Asus, I'd personally get a AsRock or MSI board at this budget for better support and for AsRock, Imo a better overclocking chance at least with skylake.

the cpu is a little overpowered if you want to save a bit of money get skylake
