Hey everyone I'm looking to build a pc that can handle games with ease while streaming and running plenty of background programs. I will be using a 3 monitor setup and would love to know what you all would recommend without case, mouse, monitor and etc.. included I have about $1500 to use towards this build. Again thank you for all your help everyone!

Yes the msi card will work.
I would also consider using the X99 motherboard paired with 16GB of memory and a 5820K processor to be more future proof.
A single 980 video card and a 850 watt power supply for SLI in the future.
I'm selling my i5, motherboard and memory to upgrade to that when either black friday or when Xmas sales come out.
Here`s an example, even if a bit over budget.
Also, do you have an OS already?

Well if its just core components, I recommend you go for the new X99 chipset, thats what I'm doing, although I expect prices will be lower after Christmas 😉

Heres the list
