There's not much difference between Skylake (6th generation) and Kaby Lake (7th) in performance. It all comes down to: Those CPUs are all so close in performance the only real difference will show up on a benchmark -- not the real world.
How large a PCIe drive do you want (or can you afford) and
Can you afford the upgrade from a 1070 to a 1080 card?
#2 will be the best all-around gamer.

i thought there was a difference between HQ and HK cpu.
if i follow the 2 option, is there any chance to have bottleneck problems? ex. cpu bottleneck the gpu?
or problems after multitasking usage?
after using the game-debate it shows that the cpu of the 2nd option do not pass:

The 6820HK is slightly faster overall - however, the biggest limiting factor in that system is the 4K screen. If you really want the fastest gaming you can get, go with an FHD screen. 4K screens will tax the performance of even the 1080 GPU -- yes, it'll work, but if you're looking for fast video, go FHD.
If you must have 4K for other purposes, use an external monitor for those.
