Before I start I just want to apologize if I make any obvious mistakes in the build as this if my first PC I plan on building. So My budget is around 1750 dollars, trying to not go over it. I plan to use this PC for editing/gaming/gfxdesign so many different things basically. I am trying to go for a all black case and parts and then have all the leds green as I think it would look cool. That is why I have LED ram and such. So here is it let me know what you think of it. All feedback is highly appreciated just wanted to make sure everything is good in this build before I make it. I also plan for this to at least last me a couple of years.

I/O = mouse, keyboard, headphone and all wireless devices use 2.4GHz spectrum such as logitech wireless with its uni receiver, your WiFI adapter can use 5GHz band for data exchange to supported devices...

I'd say it'll be great looking with plenty upgrade options, if I may I'd like to share my CAD hardware selection for you.
My product mainly focused on short animation, involving blender + octane + after effect.
Blender and after effect require fast multi core CPU, dual channel RAM.
Octane requires hefty CUDA cores
So you on the right course with 6700K+Z170, you can still add two more identical RAM stick.
If you doing gigabytes file sizes editing, a M.2 storage with faster R/W and seek time speed will speed up your encode/decode, you can USB drive to backup rarely used file later.
Some apps will utilize GPU for faster result, Adobe mercury playback engine or other hardware accelerated ray tracing will benefit fast CPU + fast GPU.
Most wireless I/O devices use 2.4GHz freq so opting 5GHz data transfer would make faster exchange among devices.

Before I start as said I am new to building computers so therefor I didnt understand a few things you said. What does "Most wireless I/O devices use 2.4GHz freq so opting 5GHz data transfer would make faster exchange among devices" mean and what does "If you doing gigabytes file sizes editing, a M.2 storage with faster R/W and seek time speed will speed up your encode/decode, you can USB drive to backup rarely used file later" Thanks though anyways for the other suggestions just please clarify what those two statements mean.

I/O = mouse, keyboard, headphone and all wireless devices use 2.4GHz spectrum such as logitech wireless with its uni receiver, your WiFI adapter can use 5GHz band for data exchange to supported devices https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11.

M.2 storages use PCIeX1 lane, Z170 gaming aura provides 4X PCIe lane for M.2 storage so in theory a M.2 stick such as Samsung 950 PRO is doing 1GB/s write and 2GB/s read, you can test that with Adobe After Effect later if you have assemble your parts, try edit HD movie file with file size above 1GB, you can load that 1GB file in a blink, later if you apply some effects on it and save the file, you'll probably get a second or two . Why that possible?

  • ■ NVMe protocol handles 65.536 commands per queue https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NVM_Express,
    ■ PCIeX1 lane provide 1GB/s data bandwidth.
Write
The process of producing a 1GB file is not happen inside the M.2 storage, it's happening on RAM, so if CPU + apps can compute to resolve 1GB file of given instructions, once its done, the system writes that on M.2 stick.

Read
That's why most storage has lower byte/seconds speed of write than read, there's not much CPU overhead while executing read command.
