Help me build my gaming rig

[Heimer]

Alright guys. I'm starting as a newbie, so go easy on me. Alright, I've decided purely because I don't know anything, that I want to build my own rig.

First, the things I know I want for sure - 1080x Graphics card. No idea on brand so suggestions are welcome + encouraged.

Now as for the processor, I've narrowed it down to an i7 6700k, or 6700k (Quad), 6800k, or 6850k. I have no idea which is better, but I do want a beast of a machine that I won't need to upgrade (due to technological advances) for a bit of time.

No idea on motherboard, wifi and liquid cooler? is something that sounds like I would want. Not sure what is the difference.. I think I've seen cases that have cooling abilities but I do abuse my computer and rarely turn it off.

Storage - 1 TB SSD Samsung or something.

What can make it VR? Want a crazy slim case too.. please help. I'm lost

I guess your computer is mainly for gaming.
please link your favorite online store and budget for the build

What's your budget?
I'll put together a list for you, a small box ITX case lik the Fractal 304 is the best for performance though.

Thanks for the responses. Budget is 3k but I'm looking at the ASUS PG278Q 27" monitor which is about $600 by itself.

I might be willing to settle with 32 GB of memory.

A couple prebuilt desktops that look interesting. The HP omen i7 6700k (quad), 32 GB ram, 1080x, is about $1700. While the MSI G65 is about $3000 for i7 6700k 64GB and dual 1080x.

A 250GB SSD is all you need, use it for OS, software and a few select games (50GB worth max) you want faster loading times in.
Loading times are the only benefit SSDs provide in games.
Here's an ITX system, i'll post a full size below which is what I recommend.
The 279Q has a better panel, 1440p and much more vibrant colors vs the 278Q which is a mess of QC issues.
I've gone for a different monitor in the second, because with two 1080s G-Sync becomes a bit pointless.
I've also included a mechanical keyboard and gaming mouse with a top of the line headset.
