So, I made 2 systems listed below. The reason why I made 2 systems is , because I don't really know which build is more worth in price/performance.

What am I doing with the system?

I will mainly use the PC for softwares and gaming, programs are listed below. So rendering, video editing, lots of multitasking (usually 4-5 browser tabs open with various softwares and game).

Softwares: Cinema 4D, After Effects, Photoshop (Adobe)
Games: So far, Lol, mmo's, fifa. (Perhaps more later)

Also, this would be my first time building a pc, (never overclocked).

The i7 5820k system would cost €100-200 more than the 6700.

Monitor: http://de.pcpartpicker.com/part/dell-monitor-u2515h

Although, it has 60hz and 6ms, which might not be the best thing for gaming? , but it has resolution of 1440p and great colors I believe.

If your software work is more important than gaming - Go with the 5820k and GTX 960.

You can most certainly clock it at 3.5/3.8 at stock voltage (well depending on your chip).

The 5 ms vs 6 ms vs 1 ms monitor "best for gaming" is complete rubbish. Your internet connection by itself is going to be 30+ ms delay, so if you get a frame 1 ms sooner or later - it will not make any difference at all.

Just pick a monitor with a nice panel and the resolution you want. That Dell is pretty descent monitor. Though for 1440p I will definitely recommend a 27 inch monitor. At 25 inch - the pixel density is just too high to be of use. 27 inch 2K is a sweet spot in which you don't see individual pixels, but it still gives you a lot of real estate...

This does not only concern Windows, but also all softwares.
