Help and advice needed

[Immunechain]

Hello to all, I need you advice and help if possible. I have purchased an acer predator x34 monitor and now need to build a pc to get the most out of it, I have a budget of about £1000 I'm in the uk so sites I could get from would include Amazon eBay ebuyer scan and nova tech , I have a nzxt H440 case (black and red) to use what I need help with is the guts of the pc for that budget. 

 

I need the pc to be future proof have the ability to sli/crossfire in the future, I mainly do gaming and some video editing and maybe some twitch streams.

 

Anyhelp would be amazing and greatly appreciated, thanks for reading.

The pc would also need to work at that monitor resolution which I believe is 3440x1440p I'm not worried about getting games at ultra, but a decent fps would be nice, games played are games like world of tanks, lotro, lol, guild wars 2 and AAA games

It's basically an i7-4770 with slightly lower clockspeeds and without iGPU (which you won't need anyway), so it performs just as well, give or take.
