Intel Upgrade 2016 Custom Theme PC Build

1. Budget under $2000

2. To be used for Streaming and Playing Newer Games at Max Settings and 60 FPS

3. Future plan is to run triple monitor setup in 1080p (Right now i have VG248QE)

4. My K70 RGB has been spilled on and in the process of cleaning it.

5. Upgrade to my 4 year old machine.

 

This build was suppose to be just an normal upgrade however i wanted to spend a little more to do an Custom Theme PC Build with an color scheme. I would love to do an custom water cooling loop however not sure if i want to worry about leaks yet.

 

The main issue right now for my build is trying to make sure i have the best parts for the build and getting thoughts and feedback from the Community.

I still haven't decided on the final computer case that i will use and the Memory. As in 16/32 GB and which Speed and CAS and should i O.C them?

 

I am stuck between an few however still open to other ideas.

Yeah.  I see a lot of appearance parts and no video card.  For triple 1080, probably GTX 1070 or better for the best experience?

There's something cool here - you just can't see it.

Ya after i posted this i forgot to include.

 

I already have an EVGA 1080 FTW that i didn't want to include in the price of the upgrade along with other Hard Drives.

 

Going to use the 1080 in this new build and put back in the 660ti in my old machine for my wife to use.
