Hey everyone, live stream on twitch! love first person shooters such as battlefield and mobas like league of legends! i believe that i have zero'd in on the best build for a system to last me the next few years!

Things to take into consideration:
1. I will be getting a 2nd graphics card down the line.
2. Whatever monitor i get i will be getting 2 more of them down the line for a triple screen setup, with that being said... the monitor i selected is only 60hz :(, can you find something better?
3. i will be swapping the mesh side panel for Plexiglas and can modify the case to make everything fit perfectly! and any case issue i can make work and fix.
4. will be getting into youtube and rendering videos on this baby also.

So here is the full build with peripherals: :D

Its fine if you can't, I'm not fussed.

Change the CPU to a 8320, almost the same specs, you can overclock the same as the 8350 and you save around $35, if it comes in a bundle, try find a bundle with similar things with the 8320 because you will save money that way, and the 8320 and 8350 are alike. I personally prefer the MSI gtx 970 but it's really up to preference as gigabyte is also a great brand, it's just that you can overclock really well with the MSI gtx 970 as shown with the benchmarks in this article:

Windows 8.1 64 bit is almost the same price as Win7 Home Premium, think about upgrading if you like.
