Upgrading My Rig/Setup

Building a new PC, and want some feedback on periphirals. I have a budget around $1700-$1800. I am going to be a YouTuber, even though there is an inflation of gaming channels recently. I want to play BF4 ultra around 110 fps. I also want to have a pretty beefy CPU for rendering. I can't decide NVidia or AMD for the GPU because if I go AMD, I'll get a bang for buck, but the heat and noise, (I don't really care about the noise), and NVidia, for shadowplay and eventually gamestream. I was looking at the ATH-AG1 headset but it has a pretty low ohm set. I am eventually going to make electro/dubstep, so more ohms would be good. I was also looking at the M65/M95 and K70/K95. I have NO knowledge with gaming monitors so please recommend me one. I want either 1440p/1600p and 120hz/144hz around 26'' or whatever it is. I am a HUGE Corsair fan, so the more the better! I am an Intel fan, and I was looking at the 4930k (Probably not the best bang for buck) and the the 4770k. The ram timing have to be the same for stabability, and I want to overclock to be 1 or 2 ratings higher than what is mentioned by Intel. At least 8 GB per stick and max 32/64GB (Ram disk). I would also want the GPU to have a good scale factor for futureproofiness. I don't care about case size, the heat, a little bit of a problem, my house is ussaly 75 or so, but if I get a closed ear headset then I don't care about noise too much. Please be as free as you want in the comments, and how do you remove a post? Or can you not?

I trip to make the fall shorter

xD, i was looking at some 780Ti SLI 4K Benchmarks and the problem is it didn't leave my mind, so i thought it's what we are talking about so i was like CF 295x2 hits 90FPS in BF4 and that's it, budget is burned, nice build homy, don't you think 850 80+Gold would be better ??
