Just as the title says, I would like to come up with the absolute best gaming pc build for under $1600.

This is what I have so far: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/D73jRG

I would prefer AT LEAST to have an i7-6700k + GTX 1080 combo, if you have any suggestions of something very similar in performance I may consider it, but as of now I believe that is the fastest combo (Maybe besides 6800k).

Anyways, with the build I have linked my only problem with it is I'm not sure about the CPU cooler, because I am most deifnitely going to be overclocking (if you guys have any tips for overclocking I would love to hear those as well because I have never attempted it before), and I would prefer to find a way to fit an SSD in there. SIDE NOTE: I would also prefer at LEAST a 2TB Hard drive because 1TB just doesn't last long enough.

Also, the color scheme of the parts picked isn't a huge deal to me, but I would prefer to have parts that at least look nicely together in the case. (As you can see I've gone with a red/black a bit in that build). Once again, it's not a big deal, and I would prefer performance over looks, but it would be nice to have some nice color scheme going.

I can't wait to see the suggestions from you guys,
thanks!

That build looks pretty good. I mean the only thing I could change would be to get something about the same price.
