Hello everyone.

Can you friendly people out there help me out in witch system should I choose.

I just put togheter this two system and i put it togheter for only gaming.
Im not gonna do any content creation or editing or anything like that.
I just want to game in max setting with a stable 60-80 fps.
my main concern is that :
1. I dont know witch 1 should i take since skylake is newer but with less cores and lover cache where as hasswell is older but more cores and higher cache.
2. Does any of this will really matter or will it affect in future gaming,like will I have a smooth gameplay in like 5-7 years later aswell?
3. If the procesor does not really matter then should i just get a decent AMD and go for the highest GPU and call it a day?
Any help,advice,change is much apreciated.thanks for your time and help in advance.
Here are the two system:
1 - Skylake

Ditch the CX unit, ditch the AIO water cooling (it's louder than air, not really cooler, more expensive and has more to go wrong).

Haswell-E is an extreme platform, do you really need that, 99% of people are more than happy with non extreme, can you get to the i7 skylake with the cost savings above?

As to should you go AMD if the gpu is so important, NO. No you should not.

If you're just looking for a gaming PC, you're going about it the wrong way. Both builds are way too heavy in cpu power and are both very much lacking in gpu power.

For your budget, you should be getting a RX480, GTX1060, or even the GTX1070.

The difference between Haswell and Skylake are not great, but there is no reason NOT to go with the newer Skylake at this point.
