Go with skylake its a much better option to have ddr4 now, http://pcpartpicker.com/p/r6RMnn

but wait wait wait hold on for a second the Gtx 1070 releases around or within a week so you dont want to miss that option or wait for the prices on this tier of GPUs to fall, if you cant wait a 390 is a good option not a 970 its like a "MidRage" card now that starts to show its limits on more then medium textures in games nowadays because of that 3.5GB vram issue.

From past experience and ownership a 1TB HardDrive isnt enough I would get a 2-3TB. With all games being around 50-60GB and some patches updates and texture loaded mods keep adding.
