Complete noob looking for help

I'd first like to thank you guys/girls for taking the time to read this post.

Okay now for the build, I'm looking to build a Gaming Pc which will last anywhere between 3-5 years. I'm in need of assistance as i have no idea what I should and shouldn't be getting thus wasting money for no reason. The PC will be built by overclockers.
No peripherals needed at the moment.

Games I would play 1080p and then move onto 2k (in the future): World of warships, FFXIV, Doom, BF1 , CSGO, plus new titles.

Case: best Air cooling possible with a window for lighting effects (LED's) full tower mabey?

CPU: would like a CPU that will still be good after 3-4 years time, Do i benefit from an I7 over an I5 in the long run?

Motherboard: gaming and future proofing was thinking x99

GPU (no SLI): i was thinking of a 1060 msi for now and upgrade when the 1080 ti comes out. What do you lots think?

PSU: either EVGA or Superflower

Hard Drive/SSD's: 2 in total, 1 for software boot up and 1 for big games. would also get a WD 4tb for music, films etc

RAM: was thinking 32GB but is that overkill?

wireless WIfi: Is it worth paying £50 ?

So how much would a system like this cost me roughly, My main concern is CPU, RAM and Motherboard and would pay the extra £££.

If there's anything I have missed out or you would like to add feel free.

Thanks for the quick response

So would an i7 6700k last around 3 years without bottlenecking current and next generation graphics cards? ie titan xp etc?

also my budget would be around £1500-1900 so im kind of surprised this build would be just over £1,000

.

finally i was thinking of the 6850k as the CPU or is that really just a waste of money ?

Okay, with the money i can save and the money i have left over do you think its a good idea buying a in win full tower case?

I like the design and also as it's a full tower wouldn't the air cooling be a lot better?

I was also thinking of buying the Phanteks elite when it comes out.

haha yeah i like the case as well

So a bit of a noob question but how do I go about placing the order?
I've gone to OCtec labs but the price comes to around 2 kish unless thats how it is

If that's the case is this a better option?

Ahh okay that makes sense now, I was thinking it's a bit too cheap

To be honest I wouldn't mind trying to self build a PC but since this is going to be my main rig i'd leave it to the professional's .If it was a £800 build then i would've had a crack at it

Hi, I'm not really a fan of VR but then again I haven't tried it.

Is there a need for 1 TB ssd hard drive as i would only be putting games and the OS on it?

Finally whats the difference between a basic x99 or z170 Motherboard and the very best, is there more slots?
Faster speeds or more features that might be used in the future?

As for the gpu i guess it makes sense to start with a high (low) tier card (if you know what i mean

) and then upgrade every 2-3 years.
