Skylake build,

i5-6600K ($250) or i7-6700k ($370)

Corsair Vengeance DDR4 16GB ($135-145)

Either 4x4 or 2x8, How much better is the 4x4?  Its only like $10 more.

Not sure which Z170 since there arn't may reviewed units yet.

The i7 is too expensive for a rather meagre increase of power outside of some specialized applications (non-gaming), I'd take the i5 therefore.

As for the RAM, no difference at all. The 4x4 could even run you into problem with your CPU cooler as many block the 4th slot due to their sheer size.
