Hello i am a little bit familiar with pc building but i just can't seem to know wich parts to choose. So i am asking this "Community" for some help. Can anyone make the best 2000 dollar skylake build? I have a 1 tb hdd and keyboard and all of that i am only interested in the pc. So could anyone leave a pc partpicker link?

Change the 6850k, to a 6800k. You don't need all those extra PCI-E lanes, except for 3 and 4 way SLI configurations, and Pascal only officially supports 2x sli. I would still pick Cryorig, over Corsair. A80 is a larger cooler as well. 32gb is highly unnecessary, unless you are doing high end video editing, or cad work, with large cad files. Case is a personal decision, but I am not a fan of that particular model. I prefer to have more open fan openings, and the ability to put in a 5.25" drive, or even a fan controller.
Sure.
You didn't specify if this includes the MONITOR or not though.

I prefer to see GSYNC (or good Freesync) monitors in the build price. The problem there is that a good GSYNC monitor is about $750USD, whereas a similar Freesync monitor is about $200 cheaper.

So just go AMD right?
The problem there is that I really only recommend the recent cards for high-end builds so that limits to the RX-480 8GB card which I wouldn't put in a $2000 gaming build.

*I'll make something (USD funds I guess?) and see how it pans out.

(includes W10 Home 64-bit)

If you don't need that GSYNC monitor then you have almost $800 left to play with so you could:

1) upgrade to i7-6700K
2) different CPU cooler
3) case - probably want different anyway (personal preference)
4) motherboard - Asus Hero->http://pcpartpicker.com/product/tBZ2FT/asus-motherboard-maximusviiihero

That Hero board has better audio and other components.
*If you want a color theme make sure to plan accordingly, especially if you have a side window. Also make sure the case supports front USB3, and a DVD/BD drive bay if you want a drive bay (some do not). That's the 5.25" external enclosure. You can filter things from NOT showing.

5) desktop speakers?

Thanks guys. I also called my geeky friend at my place and he made this build wich seems pretty nice? Could you guys give me your opinions? Im most sceptical about the case and the AIO. He said he choose that case because it has 4 fans already installed. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/
