Go with system 2. There is less of a bottleneck between the CPU and GPU, and the 6th generation CPU would be good for future compatibility. The GTX 1060 is perfect for 1080p gaming at 60Hz.

But, I would get dual channel RAM instead of single channel.

Thanks, that's the system i will go with. Plus it's cheaper. But I forgot to mention that i will be upgrading to a 2560x 1440p monitor 75Hz.

I don't think the 1060 will be able to handle it. I have the Z97 but I thought about building a whole new system.
