Thanks, please inform me of what you think! What you would change etc etc!

I have a $2000 price range but frankly I think I've got the best bang for my buck currently.

I've asked quite a few of my friends and peers!

The i5 struggles with streaming so I swapped it out with an i7.

I personally wouldnt pay $130 for 8gb of 1866 RAM when you could save $52 and get a set thats just as good. I would go for 16GB if you want to spend that much on ram.

I changed the 770 to a R9 290 because its cheaper and performs better. XFX also has great warrantys.

If your wanting to game and stream you will need multi threaded performance above all else for that and amd is btter at it.
Intel is always better at single thread and usually better for gaming but when a lot of threads at once is your need that is where an amd processor shines.
Just thought I would put that out there think what you will from there.
