haswell-e/skylake rig recomend

[trit1um]

i am now using sb i5-2400 and EVGA GTX750 now. planning to build a new system.
main usage is web surfing/movie/used to play bf4(low-mid setting), but i wanted to run some VM to explore diff OS as well as to refresh my programming skills. not planning to game intensively, prob will upgrade to next gen GPU next year

I have shortlisted some parts with ~1.5k budget. Which one would be better?

Haswell-E (Slient Build)
I7-5820k + ASUS X99 Sabertooth
Fractal Design Define R5/ Define S

Skylake Z170 (mATX form)
I7-6700k + GigaByte Z170MX-Gaming 5
Corsair Air 240 mATX

+
Corsair H100 GTX AIO Cooler
16/32 GB DDR4 RAM (buy from Amazon)
HGST Deskstar NAS 3TB 7200RPM
Superflower 550w Silver
+
Intel 730 SSD (Reuse)

OR should downgrade to i5 or even a H series board? Free feel to comment. Tks
