Hey all... looking to build a new PC that supports high-end gaming and high-end streaming. If anyone watches Curse streaming or other streamers that have REALLY super-crisp streams I am trying to replicate that eventually.

Requirements: 2 monitors, all hardware, all peripherals

I'd like to keep the build as CLOSE to $2000 as possible, thanks!

Here's what I have so far.

How you can get all of that for that price in America is insane! But yeah, looks like an awesome build. The only difference I would make is I would have 2 monitors that are the same for OCD reasons :D

Cool guys - thanks for the responses. The reason the second monitor is smaller is because it just sits to the side for web browsing and stuff, not game-playing. And it saves me money ;)

I'll update the thread once I'm ready to buy
