So i've asked a while back for comments on my PC build and got some good input, i still have not bought parts due to no work.

So now that the new cards are out and benchmarks are coming i thought i would upgrade my build while still staying within my budget of 2000$CAD.

 

I plan to run all games at high to max settings and have a browser window open as well as teamspeak or something similar. I also plan to stream with this pc so please let me know if i can do all of this and where i will suffer.

I think the OPs build looks fine as it is, except the PSU which I would swap for the EVGA G2 RaptorCandy suggestion.

If you make a post contradicting mine that doesn't directly address my claims, or cites 'facts' without evidence, I'm probably not going to bother responding to it, because you probably didn't bother reading my post properly, and because life is too short. It doesn't mean I don't have an answer for you. It means I'm not dignifying you with a response.
