What are you going to use this PC for?

either get a 6700k with a z170 chipset or you might as well go for a lowerend chipset with a none k CPU.

850W PSU is way to overkill for an i7 + gtx 1060.

as for visual editing, the second choice is better.

- as for case any on this list will fit your requirements, just pick whatever you feel is stylish

if you need monitor, downgrade to 1070 and use the remaining budget on an IPS monitor or 144/1ms tn monitor if you're into competitive FPS games.

Get a mechanical keyboard, mouse etc. later when you find out what keys, grip etc. you actually want
