Getting a new system for gaming, video editing, photoshop, streaming, screencapture. I need advice since I haven't been following computer tech for a while. I've done some googling before writing this. My monitor is 1080p and I plan to edit 4k video in the future. I have a habit of keeping open a few apps at a time and I quite a few tabs in chrome. I have creative Gigaworks T20 Series II speakers. I don't know they're worth bothering about quality sound. Do they still fare well? Windows 7 use only. No plans to install w10. Don't have any budget constraints but not willing to pay more than needed for small performance gains.
GPU > GTX 1070. The are lots of variants by the same brand out there. I'm just confused here. What's the difference? Which one should I buy?
CPU> Skylake Intel Core i5-6600K
RAM > DDR4 16GB (2*8GB) Patriot PV4 - 2666 mhz. Looks like the sweet spot after googling a lot. Correct me if I'm wrong
Motherboard > I need something with a good sound since onboard solutions are good enough these days. I don't think my speakers are worth something better or are they? Voice recording mostly. Let's say Gigabyte GA-Z170X-Gaming 7. Is this onboard sound is really any better than the rest? Or I can buy something cheaper?
Storage > 500gb SSD samsung ssd 850 evo. Looks like the best among the SSDs. (I've got 4 Tb HDD WD Black FZEX. And 2 old seagate barracudas from circa 2006, 320 gb each. So I'm covered for space)
Case > Could you recommend something that's not wider that 21.7 cm seeing as this is the width limit of my desk section for a chassis.
Power supply > I've got one that bought back in 2011 / 12 - Corsair gs 700 according to some capability site it still can handle my new rig. Will it?
