Final Stages of Build Choices

Hi all! I have posted a few times within the last week or so. I have received some fantastic advice on the build I wanted to create. And now I am in the final stages of part choices and so on. So before I pull the proverbial trigger, I wanted to get recommendations on this build. Thank you all who helped me decide on this build. And to future posters!

 

1. Budget & Location
My budget, as you can see is $1600 USD. I would much rather keep this build at $1600+- USD MAX. 

2. Aim
The aim of this build is to be an enthusiast-grade build. Able to handle most AAA titles (Fallout 4, Far Cry 4, ect.). (And possible future streaming.)

3. Monitors
Running a single 2k monitor

4. Peripherals
No peripherals needed! Already have them!

5. Why are you upgrading?
I wanted a workhorse that would last me a long while and still be great years down the road. I wanted a desktop, because it is beyond modular than a Mac.

Xeon 1231v3 would do the job. Cheaper than the i7, but has the same performance.

I've seen a lot of comparison videos of the the 1150 and 1151 sockets. There isn't a huge difference between the two.

You won't need a 750W psu for that system, I would suggest a 550W.

The Motherboard in your spec doesn't support SLI though.

Dude,

 

In your post, you have provided a computer that went over your clearly stated max of $1,600.

 

In any case, I am recommending this computer build which is more than powerful and fast enough for your computing needs.

 

Also, this computer build is under the $1,600 budget.
