Im presuming, due to that Crossfire setup, you are mainly gaming

 

In that case, i would recommend the following:

 

    CPU :  Intel i5-6600K (You dont need an i7 for gaming)

MOBO : Asus Z170-A (Great value, great board, great features)

   RAM : Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 2133 2x8GB

How much editing?

If you've got the budget, you may aswell go for the i7

 

And before you ask : DONT UPGRADE TO KABY LAKE (yet)

Oh that make sense a lot. 

How much can you spend. I would try for an i7 if you do video editnt. It's really helpful, especially with rendering. I have an i5 4460 right not. Does the job, but I would want something better.

well here in my country the I7 costs 442$ vs the I5 that costs 312$

the mobo costs 197$

and im thinking between the Kingston HyperX Savage 8GB DDR4 2400MHz  X2 thats 157$ and the  Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB DDR4 2666MHz x2 151$
