Here you go, much better. :)
Feel free to swap out the PSU for the RMx 850w or the G2 850w if you like, but I find the Quark to be an ever so slightly better unit.

This is beyond good but if you're gonna use it strictly for gaming the i7 is an overkill, rather pick an i5 6500. Also if you do not plan to overclock you don't need a K CPU and Z170 motherboards. And if you're gonna play on 1080p like most gamers do the 1080 is an absolute overkill

I will be playing on 1440p 60hz. I do some editings. Overclocking because i want to keep the 60fps+ on most games like witcher 3, crysis, battlefield, gta v and others...

Would you be interested in a 1440p IPS 144hz monitor for gaming?
It'll provide great colors for editing while giving you that sweet 144hz refresh rate. ;)
I'll post a build in a sec.
Also have you personally tried the mouse?
It is a very unique shape and is really a love it or hate it thing.
A good all rounder is the Razer Deathadder Chroma, I believe they released the Deathadder Elite recently, which is an updated version.
For the headset- trust me on this one, get the Hyper X Cloud IIs instead of the G633, it has much better sound quality and is a lot clearer.
I'll post a list in a sec.
