I am building a new PC for YouTubing/Gaming. My budget is around $1800. I want a i7 4930k for future proofing and the rendering power. I want to run BF4 on ultra 4xMSAA at around 110 fps. I cant decide NVidia or AMD because I want to eventually get a Sheild, but if I get a beefy AMD card, I will mine Litecoin which will return some money. I don't really care how loud it is, I am getting a ATH-AG1 soon, but I still want it to cool. I am a HUGE Corsair fan so the more, the better! I also want to get a Samsung 840 EVO 250GB because that is all I need and it seems to be what everyone has. I might also get a ASUS Xonar Essence STX for future music creation. Please be as free as you want in the comments. Thank you!

I trip to make the fall shorter

First of all, this is posted in the wrong place.

 

Second, do you need peripherals/monitor/OS?

Just remember when mining comes electricity and that comes with money. If you are in a dorm room where the college/university pays for that, then I would go AMD. You are looking to go AMD to get money back only to find your electricity bill higher.

Do you have a 120hz monitor? Because 110fps won't be 110fps on a 60hz monitor.

Well, it still helps... 

 

If your gpu is putting out 110 fps, then your monitor--even if it can only display 60 fps--will pull a slightly more recent image.

Honestly, there's no point in buying a 4930k: expensive cpu, expensive board, not really worth the extra money. You're better off with something like a 4790k.
Slap a be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 3 on there, that'll keep it cool and quiet, and if you're not getting a Fractal Design Define R4 or Define XL R2, get a fan controller if it's not included with the case. I too, thought that I didn't care about silence when I bought my first PC. Boy was I wrong. 
Get a Crucial MX100 512 GB (it's pretty cheap) with the money you saved on the processor. I was like you, I too thought 256 GB was enough but boy.... was I wrong.
Also you might want to wait for Nvidia's Maxwell GPUs, but if you can't wait, go with a 780Ti. Or maybe a r9 290x because that's like €200 cheaper.
