Need some build advice

[31crzy]

Hey guys, 31crzy here. I've recently run into a situation that of which is allowing me to splurge on a gaming pc. I'm wanting to build this pc powerful, but beautiful at the same time. I want it to shine and look good on my desk but still let me destroy while streaming. I also wanna keep it around $3000. My current idea is this: Click Here , but I know you guys can do something better, so please let me have it guys! 😀 I would really like to see the great minds in this community.

Also, I'm in the search of a good hd camera setup for when I start streaming. Can anyone help me with ideas?

You know the price of the motherboard was not incorporated into the total price there, right? It's in your parts list, but there is no price listed, if I'm correct, that is a $380 motherboard $410 with USB 3.1, the X99-A is roughly $250 with USB 3.1. Also, that is way overkill of a processor for just video gaming and streaming. Unless you're looking into doing more than 2-way SLI, the 5820k will be just fine for just under $400 and if you do want the 40 PCIe lanes, the 5930k is a much cheaper alternative. Other than that, build looks fine.

Edit: Also...if you're getting a almost $700 GPU, at least go with a 1440p monitor.. One mistake I wish I wouldn't have made when I bought my 760 and 970, I went with 60hz 1080p monitors.

It's a nice computer, I would just personally go with the X99 platform since it's the newest enthusiast platform available. If I had to comment on any parts would be the brands of GPU's and PSU. I'm particularly a highly-satisfied EVGA fan, if they make a product that I need/want, I will certainly check with them first. G.Skill is not bad either, just a personal favorite of mine would have to be Corsair.
