I am on the verge of building an extremely impractical beast pc within the next 6 months but I need help understanding a few things. What does skylake offer that haswell doesn't? I tired to read up on this BUT because I wasn't finding answers so I thought I would ask instead of looking for it since I had no luck. All I found was something about NVME and pci-e 3.1 or something, what does this mean? Right now can I use intel 750 series pci-e ssd with 5960x and asus rampage v extreme?

What is the difference between these two intel 750 series pci-e SSD's?
intel 750 series pci-e SSD This one is HHHL (CEM2.0) it says .
intel 750 series pci-e SSD This one is AIC it says.
What's the difference between HHHL (CEM2.0) and AIC. What is HHHL (CEM2.0) and AIC?

What is broadwell-e processors? Are they laptop processors or are they desktop? Are they out now or being released soon? I read that broadwell was out before skylake but when i looked it up i found nothing on broadwell. Is broadwell better than skylake? Will skylake be better than the 5960x or will 5960x be the best processor till another next gen architecture? (basically haswell vs broadwell vs skylake.)

I read a post about someone comparing 5960x vs 6960x and 8960x but when googling I found absolutely nothing on 6960x nor 8960x. Are these skylake or broadwell processors? Are they going to be released soon?

I am building this pc because I play A LOT of games daily (hopefully get into youtube soon). Also I use my pc heavily for college where I do a lot of 3D rendering, editing, graphics design, small cartoon videos, coding and other demanding programs/applications.

This is the pc I wish to buy here in the near future. Please feel free to comment if you feel something could be of a better variant. Money is *particularly not an issue* (i cant buy some of these16TB SSD) in my case but i'm not going to get a $1k processor if a better one is going to drop soon or something.
My dream pc
Also all parts/components are subject to change within the time frame of actually buying the stuff, for instance I plan on getting 2 ASUS GTX 980 Ti 20th Anniversary Edition Gold Platinum, or 2 ASUS GTX 980 Ti Matrix's (Depending on which is best)

Please help if you have any knowledge with any of the given subjects/questions I have, and please ask any questions if you have any.
 
Skylake is just the newest version of what intel has been pushing for a while and since the intro of sandy bridge(ie 2500k) and when it comes to actual gaming there has not been a lot of progress on the cpu side when it comes to cpu actual affect on gaming sandy bridge was revolutionary and everything after has just been incremental advances. So i would get a 4790k it will give you the same performance in games with your 2 980ti cards as the 5960x. Next the ssds you are looking at will do almost nothing for gaming over a regular ssd other than force you to erase things buy a 1 tb samsung for 350 and then a 4 tb hdd. Games are getting huge at 56 gb for some of the bigger ones that tb will fill up fast. I have two of these ( http://www.amazon.com/Intel-S3700-800GB-2-5-Inch-Solid/dp/B00APLB6G6 )and they are full already
