SO!

 

http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/mrwfzy

Thats the build! 

1) do you have any recommendations on parts to swap out or add.

2) I am sticking with a red theme but if its all black thats totally okay!

3) This pc is for gaming / rendering / recording / Live streaming " Thus the MOBO" 

4) $6000 AUD budget. so yeah. 

[FilipSebik]

What the fuck is that mobo. So expensive...

This is mid-ultra end build (higher than high end)

Well that motherboard is the rgb lighting one.

[ozziestig]

It seems alright maybe up the PSU, but all in all it looks solid.

[comicsansms]

This computer and only 1 monitor!!!!!

What is this, 2001?

[Totallycasual]

Boggles my mind why someone would want to spend so much on a PC when a $2000-$3000 one will do more or less the same thing.

[BigDay]

for gaming, i would go with the 6600 or 6700k and dual 980 ti's

[FilipSebik]

Lol i think u can attach own rgb led strips for a lot cheaper

This is probably a bit better. I changed the Mobo to a lower tier (though still gives the 2 years X-Split free) and added a second monitor as numerous streamers very often use 1 monitor for the game/subject they are streaming and the second monitor for twitch chat/skype/web browsing/email, etc. I also changed the PSU to a higher wawttage because 900W for X99 and SLi Gtx 980tis is pushing it a bit, especially if you overclock.
