I was debating this as well when I was attempting to price out different options. If I were to go with the Skylake, I think I've settled on the following Motherboard and RAM:
ASUS Z170-A
Corsair Vengeance LPX (2x 8GB)
With the RAM upgradable to 32gb or beyond as necessary. (Realistically the only reason I would need to go crazy with RAM would be for video processing and editing. Really wish I could find an excuse to grab up a 5960X but that's just silly talk.)
If I were to go with the 4790K I would get this RAM (which really isn't that much of a price difference):
Corsair Vengeance LP (2x 8GB)
But I am unsure of which Motherboard I would go with.
