I want to build a some what high end gaming pc that is futureprof and fast. The pc is going to be used for gaming and streaming. My budget is 1200$. I already have an normal hard drive that i will use for mass storage and i already have another identical 8GB ram stick.   

 

Intel core i7 5820k

Gigabyte GA-X99-UD3

XFX radeon r9 280 DD

Samsung EVO Basic 250GB SSD

Phanteks Enthoo Pro Black

Crucial ballistix ddr4 8gb ram 

Corsair H100i

EVGA supernova 750W B1

however that build is massive imbalance with gpu

You're not going to get future proof for under 10K, bud.

What are you smoking? 10k wouldn't even be futureproof. At that there is no reason to even come close to that price. I could build a solid two year pc for around 5k. But there is no such thing as futureproofing.

There is no such thing as "Future proof".

No such thing as futureproof. Especially at only $1200. The parts you picked out are very unbalanced. Rule of thumb is about 1/3 of your budget goes into you GPU when doing a gaming rig. Here is what i suggest.

No such thing as futureproof..... Especially not with a 280. Go with i5 and 290 if the main thing you do is game, if you want future"resistant" you would need to go with i7 5960X, R9 295x2 (or 2 780 TIs), 32 GB RAM 500 GB SSD. A bit over your budget...
