Building a PC for £1500

[Pineapple20]

I will be building a PC soon with the budget of £1500. I will be playing and recording games like BF4, AC4, Minecraft and lots more next gen games in 1080p. I will be rendering in 1080p and livestreaming as well. I'm use a bunch of programs like Photoshop, Premiere Pro and Vegas Pro and I also do a lot of Multi-Tasking.

I made this build: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/2Q30A and I'll be playing on this monitor.

I added an 860W PSU because I'm planning on getting another GPU in 1 or 2 years time.I will be overclocking as well. I'm also looking for a fairly quiet build that can play games very well.

Thanks.

if you want to go SLI, i think it is better to use full tower/mid tower case, at least not microATX

it will give you better airflow and enough spacing between GPU

btw, use the new corsair H105 thicker radiator and obviously perform better

I'm thinking about what ATX case I should get. I've looked at the Fractal Design R4 and the Corsair 300r, should I get one of those or a different case?

Your Build Is Great But Id Suggest Swapping That RAM With G.Skill Trident
Other Than That... Should Be Able To SLI Fine
But Should Swap The Fans With
1 Of These http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-case-fan-co9050003ww
2 Of These For H100i http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-case-fan-co9050008ww
And 2 Of These http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-case-fan-co9050017rled

I like the look of that build but I also had another build which is a bit cheaper however I'm sure your build is much better.
