Hello. I have decided to build a new pc. Parts that I chosed so far:
intel I7 Skylake
asus nvidia gtx 980
h105 liquid colling
samsung 850 pro 500gb
My budget is 2000 $. Anyone can give their alternatives for above components
I am worried about asus maximus vIII HERO due bad reviews in newegg and poping sound problem. I hope experts will advice me about this component. Also I did nt choose any psu. I think it should be over 600w
PC Should be able to handle 3d modeling, games etc.

Visit this site for your PSU it helps to choose JonnyGURU.com - Rosewill Capstone G1200 1200W Review
Personally i would pick Superflower. EVGA, Corsair, XFX comes in mind. Visit the site write some brands down and watch which you can get for a low price.

The best mainboard brands are: Asus, Gigabyte, MSI, (Asrock)

PS: I'm not an expert

1200W PSU is overkill for 1 GTX 980. 850W is enough to handle two GTX 980.

This is the 1080P gaming PC killer here is why.

I7 6700k and Swifttech H220(dual 120mm radiator). You can overclock this CPU to around 4.5GHz if you have lucky chip, and it help out a lot if you are video editing.

32GB DDR4 no worry because you can literary runs anything, even with video editing will process things faster.

MSI GTX 980 Gaming 4G is 1080P gaming killer and the brother of GTX 970.

Samsung SSD and Seagate hard drive will give you plenty of spaces for all your applications.

EVGA G2 850W give you a lot of headroom for overclocking, upgrade, or adding additional GPU for multi-monitors setup.

MSI,ASUS, Gigabyte, EVGA, or Galaxy doesn't matter because all of their cards design for one thing. Overclock, and overclock depends on the capacitors and the chip itself not brands. And can you please explain in more details what is poping sound issue you have on Maximus 8?
 
@ user102 Your conclusion is false. I just posted a link of a review site. If you clicked it you would know.

@ ghost2000 how about you take a board of MSI (Z170 Gaming M7 for example) if you are afraid using this specific Asus Motherboard.

Shop-Liste

I would buy these parts.

That is not a false at all when the link look like it going to be a review of the 1200W PSU, and i would step down from Skylake because of how heckla expensive it is. You can get a good perform with Haswell Refresh CPU such as i7-4790k or i5-4690k which is only 1 generation away.
