Planning a new build

[Tanner_hovda]

Hey I'm looking to build I computer (I have no experience). I want to beable to stream, play csgo atleast 144fps with high settings and triple A titles atleast 60fps at 1080p I'm in America and for a budget I don't really have one but keep price as low as possible (but don't skimp on hardware) I want to beable to upgrade in the future to 2 1440p monitors so it has to be upgradeable. I also would like a 360 AIO cooler. I have a clean 1tb hardrive already. In the comments ask me for anything I may have forgot. For parts I would like to have a clean black and white build, and a case with a window too see in

Well, this is a build that includes a 180Hz G-Sync Monitor and the hardware to play CS:GO at that framerate, as well as max out any Triple-A title at about 100-120 FPS at 1080p. They should all run at 180 Hz with the right tweaks.

Ah, crap. My build was about double that.

Anyway, @herman mcpootis should be able to come up with the best-optimized build for your desired price point.

Not being rude by why an Xeon CPU vs an i5 or something?

Not really a difference except it is a I7 for an I5 price. It has all the upsides except if you are going ITX hewer boards are more expensive 

[dizmo]

Do you currently have a 144hz monitor?

Why do you want such a large AIO? 240mm is more than enough for the CPU.

It's be able. Not beable. Two words. Same with at least.

Ok I'm liking a few questions though. Can I get custom sleeves with a semi modular power supply? Why not a cheaper power supply?  And dose this mother board have an onboard wifi thingy or would I have to pick one up?

Ye don't cheap out on the PSU.

At least one other component will break before you realize it's the PSU spiking.

Unless you didn't cheap out and the PSU goes silently into that dark night.

can check cablemod for cables, or get the equipment yourself and do your own sleeving. don't cheap out on the psu, cheaper psus are usually made of inferior components or perform worse, so you end up with a unit more likely to kill your system(not very high unless you go really cheap). only mini-itx mobos and some higher-end z series motherboards have onboard wifi, you'll need to get one instead. a good wifi card with AC costs $30.

the xeon is just an i7 4770 without an iGPU, will perform better with less stuttering and fps drops while being better for streaming.

If no one does, how are you supposed to improve it?

Not really. It just lets you run the fans at lower RPM. Unless you get an expensive AIO, they're not expandable.
