you don't need two monitors to do that. You don't even need the 6700k. Don't waste on money on extra things,because I do both of those and I'm fine with one monitor.

I need two monitors due to multiple facts and I heavy edit and am aiming for the 6700k due to the fact I have the money to buy it and is better for editing

[jappypack]

If you're a heavy editor then buy a Broadwell-E processor such as the 6900K, and get an ultrawide monitor instead.

[RevoThePlug]

Okay by heavy editing I mean I edit a lot but I dont mean for a job I mean specifically for my videos and for some paid jobs and Im looking more to game and two monitors one for doing school work browsing the web or other things while playing games or while im coding.

Looks like a solid build man! If you want 2 monitors then get them, I have three and I don't use them that much with no regrets. The only thing I might recommend is a different case, Doesn't make much sense to dump so much money into components then throw it all in a low end case. I might recommend this one:

It is on sale at newegg right now and is an absolutely beautiful case. Just an idea though! Good luck with the build!

You don't need a 165Hz monitor for the 2nd screen if you are only using it for editing etc.

 

Also swap the psu to the G2 version or a Corsair RMx/RMi. 

 

I would also get some faster ram as Skylake can benefit from it.

RMx -http://pcpartpicker.com/product/9q38TW/corsair-power-supply-cp9020092na

G2 - http://pcpartpicker.com/product/MfJwrH/evga-power-supply-220g20750xr

RMi - http://pcpartpicker.com/product/C3bkcf/corsair-power-supply-cp9020082na

 

The RMi is the best out of the three, but obviously a bit more expensive. They all have 10 year warranties.

No, not really. More expensive things aren't always better. I'm just sitting here thinking of what to reply to of such an imbecilic response.

How about something like this ?

 

Swapped the cpu to the 6 core i7 5820K. You can change it to the i7 6800K if you want the newer Broadwell-E cpu.

 

If you are only gaming on one of the monitors then you don't need a 165Hz screen for the 2nd one. The Asus PB278Q is a 60Hz 1440p IPS screen which will be fine for doing the video editing on. Then use the Acer 165Hz as the main gaming screen.

 

The Samsung 950 PRO has much faster read/write speeds than the 850 EVO and has the same 5 year warranty. There is a newer 960 PRO/EVO but they are not on pcpartpicker from what I can see. You also have the SM 961/PM 961 but these have shorter 2 year warranties.

 

The WD Black has a 5 year warranty and they are more durable than standard drives. 

 

The EVGA G2L is a new psu from EVGA. It has the same 10 year warranty as the G2 750W. If you can't find the G2L then just go with one of the others I listed in my post above.

Yes the i7 5820K (Or i7 6800K) are both fine for gaming with. The extra cpu cores will also help with Video editing.

It means that some of the 1st gen X99 boards might need a bios update to work with the newer Broadwell-E cpu's. The Asus X99A-II should work fine out of the box with the i7 6800K as it is listed as being compatible with the initial bios release.

Stick with the Asus ROG Swift as it is cheaper than the Acer. The Asus is a good monitor.

Console gaming is better on a large TV imo  

 

The build looks fine to me, so I can't say I would change anything. Do you have a nice Mouse/Keyboard/Headset ?
