$1500 Gaming new build help

[themlglaw]

I'm basically a retard when it comes to building a computer, having never done it myself. I will read some guides on it, but of course this would be the smarter thing to do.

Approximate Purchase Date: Second to last or the last week of this month.

Budget Range: $1500

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, streaming/recording, surfing the web

Are you buying a monitor: Yes


Do you need to buy OS: No idea if I should or not, but if so windows 7.

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Once again, I'm completely new the only 2 websites I know are pcpartpicker and newegg. Please just link a website that YOU think is good.

Location: I live in San Jose, California.

Parts Preferences: No idea

Overclocking: No idea(could someone explain)

SLI or Crossfire: No idea(could someone explain)

Your Monitor Resolution: Need a new monitor for 1080 HD streaming please.

Additional Comments: I'm most likely going to mainly play DayZ, LoL, GW2, WoW, Battlefield 3 and the new one coming out, Black ops 2, GTA 4 and basically I want it to be able to play any game out today on max/medium.

Also, I already have a very nice gaming keyboard/mouse but I would love it if someone can link me a nice webcam that is perfect for skype/streaming and a nice headset(I already have one but years old so I could use an upgrade).

And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: My current one sucks penis and I need a new one.

Alright then, I guess I'll decide on either the 1200 build or the 1500 build you suggested within the next week, thanks!

Also, which would you suggest, this http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/Mega_Special_IV/ or the 1200 build you said.

To say that my build would be superior is a bit of an understatement. I have a 7970 in there, while that build has a GTX 660 Ti, which is several tiers down. It also falls into the X79 trap and uses an overpriced CPU and motherboard for functionally no reason.

Worthy of note, I believe that some of the sales my builds depended on have lapsed. You'll want to check that the prices haven't changed excessively, and get the build update if they have.
