so this is probally not the first post about some guy wanting to know what to get to build there pc, but no matter how many video's i watch or how many guides i look up i still don't really know what i should get.
my budget is in between 1500-2000 euros. I game on a daily basis and i'm heavy on photo/film editing.

currently i'm looking at these items:

intel core i5-6600K/intel core i7-6800k processor
ASUS MAXIMUS VIII HERO motherboard

G.Skill 16GB DDR4-2400

MSI GeForce GTX 1070 Gaming X 8G V330-001R

EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G1 power supply

Samsung EVO 850 MZ-75E120B/EU Internal SSD, 6,4 cm (2,5 inch), SATA III (250GB)

Seagate BarraCuda 2 TB

i'm trying to keep a black/red theme going.
so are these items compatible and would this be a good option?

thanks in advance

If you'd go with the 6800k you'll need to switch motherboard as 6800k uses a 2011-3 socket, where the current mobo listed uses the 1151 socket (will work for the 6600k). Just a heads up :)

What are you plans for CPU cooling?

I'm not that familiar with photo/video editing but I can imagine 32 GB RAM being more beneficial for these tasks - any thoughts on this? What softwares are you dealing with?

Gaming-wise it's a very solid build. Though I'd probably get a bigger SSD, but that's just me.

If you change the h100i to a Dark Rock Pro 3 they would perform the same and it would be basically if you prefer air or water. Didn't know if I would be able to fit the pro in mine. Forgot to change after

It's down to cooling vs silence, just thought I'd add a watercooling version since the OP was interested in it :) You also have the Noctua coolers for aircooling, though they wouldn't go as well with your black/red theme, but they're OP for aircooling imo.

Mhm I prefer bequiets though as they look much better and are almost as good as them (like 1-2c)

I assume this is a bit over the budget, however the extra RAM will benefit you because of the loading times.

If you're doing this as a job, loading times matter a lot, so this will give you the fastest loading times.
