Don't go SLI. No need for it. Fill this build with whatever fans you might want, LED's, more hdd's, whatever you want. Amazing build

 

 

+ you have "streaming engine" on the motherboard itself. Not sure if it's any good, but the motherboard itself is super solid.

Is what I've got after many months of researching and watching reviews and such, I mainly did this because I thought it'd be interesting to see what everyone else is going to choose.

 

The idea for mine though is to replace the CPU with the 6820k (or equivalent) and the GPU with the 1080 Ti/Titan when they come out. Then and only then, buy a XB271HU or better monitor.

Sounds like a good idea. Don't go for the titans though. Extreme gpu's don't matter that much when it comes to streaming. Don't go for titans, it's just wayy to overkill, and theres better ways to improve upon your build if it's for streaming.

I plan on going whatever provides the best frames at the time for my new XB271HU monitor or whatever is better at that time.

Go for best frames, don't go for sli or most expensive.  A titan will be beat out by the 1080's since they're worse in gaming than the 980ti

Everyone seems to misunderstand when I bring up the Titan, I am not referring to the current Titans, I am referring to the PASCAL Titan. NO ONE currently knows it's performance over the 1080 Ti or even the 1080 Ti's performance.

We actually know what the major differences are between the 1080 and the titan from pascal. Titan has HBM2 Memory whereas the 1080 does not. 

 

Check the differences between the new titan and the old ones here: http://wccftech.com/nvidia-pascal-specs/

 

It's just ridiculously overkill. 3000$ is overkill, almost everything about it is overkill, so if you're going for that, at least be meticulous about it

Oh yay, major specs, too bad we don't know real world performance which actually matters to the people who want to build their new computer. There's still about 4 months before we get any of that to compare the 1080 Ti and the 1080 Titan, HBM2 may make absolutely no difference in all in a video game or it there may be a world of difference.

Yup.  But spending $3,000 on a tower is a waste of money in general.  no matter what system you build with the $3,000 it's going to be over the top and there will be a lot of not needed parts.  I look at it like modifying a car to a point where it costs many thousands per horsepower.  Over the top ridiculousness. value is not the only thing you should be looking at, but cool factor.  It'd be cool to say that your pc has 3 video cards, just like it'd be cool to say my car has a ton of horsepower.

In my case, my PC costs $3200, but that's because of peripherals/extras costing $750~ in total. Meaning my PC actually costs $2500, but even then, that is a bit much because I'm future proofing the PSU - 1000W on an i7-5820k and a GTX 980 Ti Hybrid, then the 950 PRO 512GB just because fast speeds.
