I'm trying to build a computer for general use, photo editing and some gaming. Right now I think i will be getting 2 1440x2560 monitors and possibly a third in the future. From what I got in another post I think I will be getting a 980 TI graphics card, and a silenco 800 case (case is iffy i could change that) I'm trying to figure out the rest of the computer now. i'm thinking of getting a intel cpu at least 4 cores wouldn't be opposed to 6 cores if its worth the money. for the motherboard i want something that will last a little bit before i have to upgrade, preferably something that can use ddr4. ram i want at least 16GB in two sticks (i want to upgrade to 32 later on), and i would like the computer to have wifi. Lastly a power supply to power everything preferable modular i hate tons of wires. 

 

Bonus: i'm kinda going for a orange look (favorite color) but black is ok too.

P.s. any other things i need let me know. i'm going 240 GB ssd with 2X 3-4 TB HHD in raid 1 i think

 

budget is 2000.00 with monitors witch i found 2 for 500 so 1500 for the computer seems doable i can do a little more if its worths the money.

If you want an orange motherboard this one looks ok

So you're going for an all-out build. 980 TIs, dual 1440P gaming. If you really want to go super-powerful, others might suggest an i7-5960x; I would suggest the more mainstream i7-6700K with an Asus z170 motherboard. This will force you to get DDR4 RAM.

 

So there you go. 980 TI, i7-6700K, Z170. Build.

 

See 

for some benchmarks and ideas.

Whatever you buy, it's not worth the extra $$ to buy the top end stuff, the performance you get is pretty much the same as the "sweet spot" stuff but costs much more, go with bang for the buck now. I could've built my system for about 30 to 40 percent less with the same performance for most things but I bought top tier. 

 

Do splurge for i7 vs I5 however as hyperthreading does make a difference in games with lots of human players like bf3 or 4. :)
