Hello, i am currently on my way to building my FIRST ever custom built pc.

 

I am going with the i7-5820k (6 core 12 threaded)

I was wondering what gpu choice would benefit me the most.

 

I have been considering buying a GTX 970 and then later buy another one. If ever needed another one.

 

I am going to use the system for streaming, gaming, video editing etc.

Gaming only or?

 

What's the budget for the card?

 

If it's between GTX 970 price, I'd suggest you to go for R9 390 which is around 15% faster on average and has 8GB of VRAM which may help in the future.

Intel Core i3 2100 @ 3.10GHz - Intel Stock Cooler - Zotac Geforce GT 610 2GB Synergy Edition

Intel DH61WW - Corsair® Value Select 4GBx1 DDR3 1600 MHz - Antec BP-300P PSU

WD Green 1TB - Seagate 2.5" HDD 1TB - Seagate Barracuda 500GB - Antec X1 E.

A 390x or a fury would work well, all depends on your budget.
