So I thought I knew what I was getting a couple of weeks ago, but I feel like I need a little help in what I want in my next PC. Let me share with you what I absolutely need first.
 

  • Very low temperatures, with minimal sound. More emphasis on the low temperatures though!
  • The least amount of wires inside as possible. I'm looking to utilize M.2 storage, for example.
  • Easy to open, and clean out dust. Easy to handle, and transport. Handles?
  • Would prefer a decent look with window, but not my priority.
  • Just one beefy GPU is all I need. I still don't see the point in a multi GPU setup for me.
  • A motherboard that puts out the best sound, really don't want a separate sound card.
  • Play any game I throw at it in 1080p at maxed out settings. Anyyyyy game.
  • 2 monitor setup eventually, primary being a 27" 2K or 4K 144hz, second being 24" 144hz 1080p.
  • Also need the ability to stream everything I'll play, at those maxed out settings.
  • USB 3 Headers. 

 
So a little about me and how I'll be using this machine. I know it's going to cost multiple thousands of dollars, and that is fine with me. As long as I get what I need. I currently live in an apartment, on the top floor. So when it's 70 degrees fahrenheit outside, it's more like 80something inside my room. Yes, I have an AC, which turns my electric bill from 100 bucks a month, to 300 bucks a month. So, that's why I usually don't use it all the time. And thus my PC gets toasty.  I was eyeing up the CaseMaker 5 for example, since the inside can mostly be removed for better air flow(since I won't need hard drive cages). So for under $3,000(all towards the tower)... What should I be considering? Should I be doing the new Skylake for DDR4? Not worth it? Show me some options, some builds. I look forwards to doing this all soon!

I was really confused with storage. So I added everything edit that as per your needs. Also, the extra fans are for the Radiator if you didn't already figure that out.
