Corsair Gaming MM200 Standard Cloth Mouse Mat

K thats what I want to do right now any input is appreciated thank you in advance

k guys so my budget is 2500$ USD This pc will be used for gaming everything from minecraft to far cry 4 and i will also be streaming on this pc and minor image and video editing I will be running 2 maybe 3 monitors I will be using windows 7 (preferably pro but don't know yet also i know about performance gains from windows 8 i still just cant stand it so i wont use it) I am buying all of these peripherals and possibly a monitor im upgrading because i would like a massive performance boost that i just can't get out of my current pc

JUST SO EVERYONE KNOWS I'M BUYING EVERYTHING FROM AMAZON REGARDLESS OF PRICE DIFFERENCE

1. Budget & Location
You may have listed a heap of parts that all add up to your preferred budget but it is easier if you just list the total amount you'd like to spend and the currency as well as if you'd consider going above that budget for more performance. We need the location as well because $US are different to $AUD and $CAD ect.

2. Aim
What is the system going to be used for? Web browsing, 3D work? Different systems need different levels of performance - a computer based for web browsing and office use won't handle heavy graphic design and video editing and a proper video editing system isn't good for gaming. If your aim is for gaming, please list what sort of gaming. In the same way that different usage types need different systems, you'll need a lot more power to run Far Cry 3 or Crysis 2 than you would Minecraft.

3. Monitors
How many monitors do you plan on running? Do you plan on moving to more monitors in the future? What resolution are they at too?

4. Peripherals
Do you also need to purchase peripherals such as keyboards and mice as well as monitors ect. Also please tell us if you'll need an OS such as Windows.

5. Why are you upgrading?

We ask this because you may see upgrading as the only path to solve an issue but things such as driver updates, reconfiguration or cleaning can boost performance without spending a cent.

Edit: You don't have to post at that link, just wanted to tell you where it came from. But yeah, there are questions there that you have not given an answer yet

Your Motherboard isnt compatible with your cpu. BTW 980 outperforms the 290X

Any motherboard that has the LGA 2011-3 socket will work. LGA 2011-3 is not backwards compatible with LGA2011. The chipset is X99, the other mobo was X79. http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-X99--DDR4-3000-Motherboard/dp/B00NC05Q2C/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1417424961&sr=1-2&keywords=lga+2011-3+motherboard. This is a mobo around the price as the last one.
