Help Gaming/Streaming PC 2k-3k

[Baiter]

HI, i am finally upgrading my PC from 5-6 years i am running an old i5 2500k and gtx 770. I am an advent gamer so i am looking to build pretty much an ultimate gaming rig that is essentially going to last me another 4-5yrs or so. 

I play a lot of mmos, FPS, and every now and then RPGs, and i plan to even start streaming a bit. I do at times have multiple windows in the background, or applications running as well so looking for something that can support all those functions but won't hinder my game play. I'm still debating weather i want to play in 4k or remain in 1080p so wouldn't mind ppl opinions or builds mentioning both. 

Of course at the start i was going to initially buy i9 9900k, but with the launch of the new AMD chips it looks like i might be leaning towards AMD for the first time.

Looking to hear from ppls inputs/opinions ^^

For a single system game/stream rig, AMD holds king.

There are steps inbetween 1080/4k. Consider 1440p. It's easier to drive than 4k, but gives you some of the benefits over 1080p. Comes in at a reasonable price for 144hz as compared to 4k.

Any recommendations on builds?

Sure, this doesn't use anywhere close to the top of your budget, and there's a reason for that.

You don't need to. When you get really high end, there are diminishing returns. I'd just buy something like a 2070 Super now, a great value card, and wait a couple years, and use the rest of the money on a top end GPU in maybe 2-3 years. You aren't likely to completely max out the 2070 Super in many games now, at 4K 60 or 1080 144, so I'd just wait.

 

Used a X470 board instead of an X570 board because realistically, you won't need PCIE 4, so why bother with a whiny chipset fan? VRMs are great on this board, you can easily overclock. 

 

16GB of DDR4-3000 is good enough for today's games and streaming. You can easily upgrade this later.

 

High quality PSU included, as usual. Fully modular and 650W. Good electrical performance and quality. More than enough to last you for quite awhile.

hmm kk.. Guess that makes sense cause as i mentioned just wanted something that could hold me over for a couple years. So if i was to play BFV, Apex, Witcher these set ups could easily top max settings?
