need to rebuild my computer from scratch. $1500 budget, need help!

[cmurtheepic]

OK guys, this is the first time I've used this forum. but I need help. I need to rebuild my computer practically from scratch. When I first got my gaming computer I was very stupid and careless. I messed with the liquid cooler and took it off just to look at my new CPU back in early 2012, and ended putting it back on without the pump plugged in. OOPS, so i ran my CPU at 100C+ for about 2 weeks, freaking out over why my computer kept just shutting off without warning. then i got wise and figured it out. but now in 2015 i think i probably damaged it. and now my gigabyte X79-UP4 motherboard is failing, one of my ram sticks don't show up (12GB out of 16GB) my ram cards are old Kingston Hyper X 1333Mhz cards 4 kit. and now my computer keeps crashing after about 5 hours of use with the error Memory_Management. that and the fact that i opened majority of my hard drives and have probably killed my 4TB hard rive, cause it no longer shows up unless i have another hard drive plugged in (this is not my OS drive). killed my original 2TB regular harddrive, cause its completely broken. and damaged my current 2TB SSHD OS drive. my SSD is completely fine though and i scrapped a 3TB western digital HDD from a network store bought NAS. then after taking my computer apart so many times to clean and fix it, I've lost to many parts to the case, it looks like i ghettoed the shit out of it. font panels are missing, im missing case screws, etc. i currently have a EVGA 980 GPU and a EVGA 770 they are both completely fine as well, so no need to replace them. i have lost screws for the 2 LG Blu-Ray drives i have. and my power supply is completely fine. also it is a EVGA V1000 modular PSU, so no need to replace it. also my CPU is a i7-3820, and my case is the coolermaster HAF X. i would like to get another HAF X to replace the current one i have, cause i have 2 massive fans on top of the one i have currently that i would be putting into the new one. i also recently replaced my liquid cooler cause the reservoir pump died, now i have a closed loop liquid cooler.

 

but enough with the back story, here is what i need my computer to be-able to do within my budget if possible.

 

i would like one of the newer i7 processors, because i don't just play hardcore games on my current rig, but i also do a lot of video editing with programs like sony vegas, and do alot of image editing and after effects. so i would like to have a fast processor that can do video editing, as well as hardcore games like say Crysis, and maybe even arma 3. i really would like to stick with 16GB of ram. and have a mother board that can support my PCI capturecard, as well as maybe a desktop internal WI-FI Bluetooth card. as well as room for more GPUs in the future maybe. i also need to replace my current 2TB SSHD, and my 4TB HDD with maybe a 4TB SSHD, cause i use it for alot of storage for recordings and applications to keep my main OS drive lightening fast, or well as fast as a harddrive can really be

 

please i could really use some help here, i don't know much about upgrading to new stuff and what i would need to get, I've tried its all so confusing please help

Sounds like you have a very specific need.

You could probably do what you asked for yourself and end up with what you want especially for your budget.

https://pcpartpicker.com/ will get you started.

 

For your needs I would start with the case first and go from there.

Pc part picker also helps with initial compatibility, it let's you know if something is incompatible.

thanks alot, but is there a better CPU possibly a 8-core CPU, that could be overclocked? that I could get with the extra $490 if we removed the extra 980, and possibly add in a 2TB SSHD. sorry if i seem like im asking for alot here.

[Fhait]

It sounds like the biggest problem with your old system was you.

 

This isn't a flame. I'm just suggesting that maybe you want to pay somebody to build you a system that you never have to open and tinker with, perhaps with a warranty.

 

It's nice to keep up with modern CPU's but was your older i7 cutting it for you ? You can save a lot of money staying behind the bleeding edge.

yes i can understand this. i was stupid back when i first got my gaming rig. but now i know how to do things right, and am not so careless anymore.

 

also the main reason i want to replace my i7 is because i need a new CPU mainly a better one cause back when i first got my rig i wasn't doing any video editing. and i believe i may have damaged my current CPU badly with the abuse i put it through.

thanks alot stealth80. you helped me out here.  it might be abit to late, but is it possible to find a X99 motherboard that has a m.2 lot and a usb type-c port on it

[TheArmChairGuru]

I'll say it again, sounds like you have a specific need.

You have replied to multiple posts from system setups and you keep asking for more specific things.

Therefore I can only presume you want something very specific.

Therefore my suggestion still stands, do the research for what you require and use PC part picker.

 

If you have a question about a specific part, people can suggest alternatives or help, but you're going to have to pick what you want yourself it seems.

Hi that board does have m.2, I linked a 256 m.2 SSD in the first build, but you said you already had a SSD, I assume it is M.2?

 

as for the type C udb, I would get that board and something like :
