[Build Ready] Skylake + R9 390 starter build from scratch.
Build Help:
Have you read the sidebar and rules? (Please do)
Yes.
What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better.
Playing games and some photoshopping. I'll be playing modern (Star Wars battlefront "3", Fallout 4(?), Rocket League, Terraria, ARK, Civ 5 etc.) and older games. Most demanding game I'll ever play is probably Star Wars battlefront (the newest one). I'll be doing some photoshop but mainly for family pictures, nothing too fancy.
I'll also do some basic game developing with this pc, maybe Untiy or Unreal Engine 4. I'll use some kind of a program to do textures for a simple game (not a next gen Skyrim 4K game).
If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, FPS, game settings)
I'll be playing on 1080p or 1440p around 60 FPS. Game settings would be preferably around High or Ultra (there's not much difference since I'm new to this, High is enough.).
What is your budget (ballpark is okay)?
Around 1200-1500€ (1300-1650 USD) for the build (without monitor or peripherals), preferred amount of money is about 1300€ (1400 USD).
In what country are you purchasing your parts?
Germany (middle Europe).
Post a draft of your potential build here (specific parts please).

I don't know if I should go for m2 sad, is there any significant difference between an ssd and m2 ssd? That PSU is to be able to overclock AND to put in an another 390 (if I ever want to). It is basically to make sure that I can put anything in this PC if I ever wanted with no worries if the PSU can handle it.

The EVGA G2 power supply is a great-quality choice, but unless you plan to add another GPU later, you don't need 850W. You could comfortably drop all the way down to the 650W G2 for $80 ($60 after MIR).
