Approximate Purchase Date: e.g.: within a month

Budget Range: sub 4.5k

System Usage from Most to Least Important: High-end gaming, VR, possible streaming

Are you buying a monitor: Not just yet

Parts to Upgrade: Full build

Do you need to buy OS: No (Have Win 10 pro, may Hyper-V a Ubuntu VM)

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg/Amazon (other good rep sites?)

Location: DFW, TX

Parts Preferences: Intel/NVIDIA

Overclocking: Maybe

SLI or Crossfire: Yes

Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080 dual / 3440 x 1440 single (future)

Additional Comments: Large Steam library to support (hence large SSDs). Fan cooled still preferred as I have zero water cool setup experience at this point. Better motherboard options?

And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: VR (OR) can't run on current PC (USB conflicts). This will also need to support full HOTS + VR all connected at once. Yay finding a case to support 4x USB 3 on front ...

If you're going to spend so much, you may as well go with a 6 core beast.
