Hey guys, so this will be my first build which I'm revolving around intense gaming and some streaming. My budget will be around $1500-2000.

Motherboard

I actually need help picking one out because I don't really know much about motherboards besides what goes where on it.

I would appreciate feedback on these items and if you guys could give some in depth detail on why or why nots, that'd be great. Thanks!

May want to look at the 970 instead of the 780.

And the mobo depends on what bells and whistles you want, and the colors you're going for. Just make sure it's LGA 1150, preferably z97. 
I don't think 16GB ram is necessary, you could go with a 2x4 kit and pocket the cash.

GTX 970/980 vs 780. Edit: just get the 980 with that budget....

 

- Newer, Better, etc.

 

650W PSU. 

 

- no need for 850.

 

Gigabyte Gaming 5 for mobo, or Asus Z-97 A - highly rated, more expensive ones are not necessary.

 

That's my 2C. Have fun building!

If you're going to be doing intense gaming and streaming, maybe get a 970? And then 2133 CL9 RAM, a Z97 motherboard, and probably a liquid cooler for your CPU because you'll probably want to overclock. For the storage, maybe RAID 0 the SSD, because you mentioned streaming, not sure if it's worth it though.

You can do much better on the GPU.

Also, I recommend an i7 especially IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO STREAMING.

Yeah definitely get an i7, would just help with the streaming! and upgrade to the GPU, and I was just wondering if you care about the asthetics of your build? coz the black/orange h410 may look weird with the cpu cooler and some other components
