Is this way too overkill?

Curious if this build plus a custom loop is way to overkill I want to be able to stream at best settings I can while also recording and playing games and also stream vr. I currently have a 6700k and stream iracing in VR and destiny 2 but it just puts too much of an impact on the cpu and my streams look bad and ecpacially for iracing I can't keep the fps at 90 while streaming just lookin for some opinions would also be doing a duel loop in the case

Nah it aint overkill in my opinion I would put a 1950x  and sli that 1080ti

*Edit: Never mind. It's late and I'm done answering questions. Threadripper is a good bet for you. Might want to do some folding and weather modeling while you're at it. Maybe play Minesweeper in the background to push it over the edge

Depending on if the apps / games that you are using are multi-threaded enabled and/or if you can set affinity for the apps to utilize individual cores. 

 

I'm a power user of sorts and play games, streaming multiple 4k videos, and run some beefy virtual machines. I've got multiple systems but the server that I use for almost everything is a dual Xeon x5675's so its a 24 thread system and I don't really worry about whats running even when I'm working with videos or rendering in Blender while playing or running the VM's but you may need to consider more RAM especially if you want to divvy your work load using something like VMWare. With my 12 core / 24 thread system I'm sporting way more RAM that I need (120GB's of ECC). As for cooling I use dual Corsair H65's or H70's I forget which ones I went

 

Every user has different needs and if you're thinking about "future proofing" which you never really can I say what you've got in PC Part Picker looks pretty good. I would definitely say don't go any lower on the GPU unless you absolutely have to.

 

I'm working on building now a more current dual Xeon build using dual X99 chips (e5-2699's) with M.2 and USB 3.1, etc. Since the other Xeon while still capable its missing some cool current gen features like RAID'ing M.2's, etc. I'm building it slowly and taking my time but if you don't really need Liquid Cooling the Noctua coolers while not super pretty when I had them in my current server originally the temp difference wasn't huge between AIR and Liquid but I think threadrippers run hotter than Xeons. But who knows they are both Workstation grade CPU's.

Only reason I'm not doing 1950x is just it does save me a few hundred and from looking at various videos I don't really need it if it happens to go on sale closer to 1000 then yes I would and fuel 1080ti will come alter just don't have that much cash to spend ATM with duel loop be easy to add in later
