So i am building my first computer and would really like some help/info/recommendations on the parts. I am planing on using the computer for Gaming/Streaming on twitch. I had a few of my buds of mine help me put this part list together. Really appreciate any and all feedback.

 

Here is my part list.

*Also i feel the monitors that i have on the list may be a little to much and i am wonder what 2 monitors would be good that i can get for under $500.

I wouldn't bother with 144Hz TN monitors unless you're going G-SYNC/FreeSync or are a competitive gamer, the colors and viewing angles are not as good as IPS and will never be. For the ~$500 that you're spending on the two of them, you can have three 1080p 60Hz 24" or 27" panels that will allow multi-monitor gaming. I recommend something from LG, AOC or ASUS. Also, blue RAM and a red motherboard? Really? And for $2500, get a better cooler than a Hyper 212 EVO such as the H110i GT/Kraken X61/Cryorig R1 Ultimate and a better case/PSU than an R4 and an RM750W, such as the Air 540/H440/R5/450D and the EVGA 650G2.

Yeah you need to change the ram. I also agree that you need different monitors. Can someone link him different options for 2 and 3 monitor Configs

Have fun. For some stupid reason, partpicker isn't picking up on the CPU cooler, even though Newegg has it for sale. So I had to manually add the price.

 

BUUT, it's worth it. Check it out, you'll love it. The build has a light-blue theme, I hope you'll enjoy. Still, there's a lot of money that can be used. Use it to buy a 2nd monitor of choice.

 

If you'd like a different color, just tell me. You can pick red, black, green, yellow, and white.

Nope, 16gb is completely useless for his purposes.

Okay, red theme. Ez.

 

Just let me warn you: you are losing performance by going with 1 980. And you are losing image quality by going with 2 1080p monitors. If you are aware of the risks, here is your build:
