Yea a 6700k is probably your best option if you can manage

Unsure what power supply to pick?

Check out my HTPC build.

Any workstation uses (everything you said the PC will be used for besides gaming/streaming) almost requires a GOOD processor. If you can't dish out that much for a 6700k, I'd say you might want to see if you can't find some marked down haswell/z97 stuff. It would far exceed the performance of a 6th gen i5 in workstation use due to the extra threads.

CPU: INTEL Core i7 4790k @ 4.7Ghz - Cooling: NZXT Kraken X61 - Mobo: Gigabyte Z97X SLI - RAM: 16GB G.Skill Ares 2400mhz - GPU: AMD Sapphire Nitro R9 Fury 4G - Case: Phanteks P350X - PSU: EVGA 750GQ - Storage: WD Black 1TB - Fans: 2x Noctua NF-P14s (Push) / 2x Corsair AF140 (Pull) / 3x Corsair AF120 (Exhaust) - Keyboard: Corsair K70 Cherry MX Red - Mouse: Razer Deathadder Chroma

Bit of an AMD fan I suppose. I don't bias my replies to anything however, I just prefer AMD and their products. Buy whatever the H*CK you want.

IF you can afford a 6700k with Z170 + cooler for some OCing, it's pretty much one of the best choices out there. If not, a regular 6700 non K will still do, though the K option is always preferred if possible.
