What kind of games? Anything in particular you want to play What resolution and length are we talking? what kind of existing wireless infrastruture do you have (modem/router etc)
Some Question's from my side : CPU : 2600K will be slightly better than the 2500k for video/audio encoding but have no real impact on anything else, the 2700K is slightly better again but for video encoding nothing out now beats the 3960X/3930K and if you are going to be encoding a lot of 1080p video (hours of video) it may be worth investing in but it's really really expensive. How long it will hadle heavy tasks will depend on the tasks, if the tasks stay the same yes but if you are planning to move to movie making with a 4K camera in the future you will want to upgrade. Motherboard : All depends on the board, some do, some don't RAM : Channels depends on the CPU and Mobo, more is better. Mostly irrelevant for DDR3 today, higher you go lower the increase in performance and much higher cost. RAM is easy to upgrade and cheap GPU: None of those tech speks really mean much on their own, look at benchmarks and reviews Again depends what you plan on doing with it Also note that modern video editing and encoding can utalise high end GPUs to accellerate encoding so can be important even if you don't plan on heavy gaming Display: What Aspect ratio should the Display have as WEB is designed 4:3 and many movies have 21:9 ratio. 16:9 will be cheapest and best for video work, it's basically the standard these days and even the web is moving towards widescreen, but if you are planning on working on a lot of text then 16:10 may be a better choice Depends on the card and configuration Heatsinks and Coolers: Are liquid Coolers really required? No, unless you plan on heavy overclocking or don't want a lot of fan noise Fans cheaper require less maintanance and come standard with most components, Liquid is usally quieter and offers better cooling Yes but they are included Wireless : Wireless Headphones,Keyboard,Mouse,Router - What does range in 'HZ' mean Ignore this value, focus on the wireless spec 802.11g/n etc, get n devices it's the newest, best fastest spec. Wi-Fi is compatable with older Wi-Fi specs but will use the slowest type connected, other specs like bluetooth aren't compatable with each other Speakers and Headphones - Standard - What do different Standards like dolby,true HD differ? Depends on what hardware you are getting, best not to skimp on power supply tho Personal prefference, whatever you are comfortable with Personal prefference, whatever you are comfortable with Do you plan on watching/burning Blu-ray? No, seriously man why so many stupid questions? All this stuff is down to you no one else can tell you if you need it, if you don't think you are going to use it don't buy it, you can always change later same as above again the same, probably not but I don't know you or what you do so who knows

It's best to work through these things step by step, first decide what kind of CPU/GPU you want/need then build the rest of the system around that
