Hello everyone,
I'm building my first computer which I plan to use only for gaming (Skyrim, GTA V, The Witcher 3 with high quality settings, and games released in the future), streaming and video editing.
I wish to use it without (or as little as possible) upgrading for long time.
Please feel free to offer changes and advice for the whole build or some particular parts.
I can spend about 2000 (2500$ max) (but it's difficult to say since I live in a country with another currency and prices sometimes can differ drastically from the ones PCPartPicker suggests).
That's what I'm considering right now:
CPU: Intel Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz Quad-Core
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-U14S 55.0 CFM OR Noctua NH-D14 65.0 CFM
Motherboard: MSI Z170A KRAIT GAMING ATX LGA1151 OR MSI Z170A GAMING M7 ATX LGA1151
Memory: Kingston HyperX Fury Black 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4-2133 OR Kingston HyperX Fury Black Kingston HyperX Fury Black 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR4-2666
HDD: Seagate Archive 8TB 3.5" 5900RPM
SSD: Kingston Predator 240GB PCI-E
Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB
Power Supply: Corsair RM 750W
Case: Cooler Master HAF X OR Cooler Master Cosmos II

Parts I'm confused the most about:
1) Will the Noctua NH-U14S cooler be enough? Or should I get Noctua NH-D14? (The Noctua NH-D15 and water coolers are not present in the shop I'm buyng from, unfortunately, so my choice here is very limited). Or maybe even something much more efficient?
2) MSI Z170A GAMING M7 is definitely nower, considered better (and thus pricier). But I compared its specifications to MSI Z170A KRAIT's, and didn't see so much of a difference, to be honest. (But I'm a total newbie, so please do correct me if I'm wrong and just haven't noticed some crucial differences).
3) Will 8GB memory be sufficient?
4) Of course, Cooler Master Cosmos II is, well, cooler. But I'm not sure if it's worth spending money on for me, because I won't be able to use it to its full potential.
5) Do I need to install extra fans in either case? (obviously, I'm not going to be a hardcore overclocker, but still).
Help will be very appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
