IMO if you are going to build a computer in which you can upgrade later and that will last a long time....go with:

2011-3 Mother Board and Processor
XX GB of DDR4
M2.2280 PCI-E x3/4 SSD with SATA SSDs as storage/backup.
Blu-Ray burner
Nvidia 1060 - 1080 card. Anyone of them right now will be awesome for you and will fit in a price range that is reasonable to most people.

The reason why I wouldn't go with a 1151 chipset/processor is that plain and simple, they are only quad core. Why settle for quad when you can get Hex or better for either the same price or a little more. Also, when Ryzen is released Intel processors Hex core + processors will drop in price.

Ryzen results are very impressive, so if you want to go AMD, that's the ONLY selection of CPU I would suggest. I ran an 8150, then 8350 FX processor for about 5 or 6 years total. I was happy until I got my setup now...

ASROCK Taichi MB
i7-5820k (which I bought in september of 2016 for only 325$ new) (EDIT) - Corsair H55 for cooling.
32GB of DDR4, quad channel (4GBx8)
GTX 1060 3GB (160$ new)
240GB SSD SATA3
480GB SSD SATA3
My backup drive is mechanical and large.

That processor is crazy over clockable and I've yet to peg it outside of running Prime95 and Handbreak.

Hope this helps.
