Hey guys, I am currently selling my computer now and using the money I have saved up to build my self a new computer strictly for live streaming. I want to be able to stream the highest stream settings like 1080p 60/30fps or 720p/60fps and play on ultra settings while also recording so I can edit and render videos for youtube. So my budget is $1750 range and I will be building this system in a Bitfenix Prodigy M, the new version of the bitfenix prodigy that holds micro-atx motherboards so you can SLI video cards now.

So I've been deciding through 3 different builds.

I found a 850w gold Raidmax for $100 for any of the 3 builds, a friend selling G,Skill Sniper 1866mhz Ram for $100, the Bitfenix case $100, 1TB hardrive Seagate $70(unless I should get an SSD), $200-$270 depending on motherboard socket.

And here's the real help I need. I will be live streaming battlefield 4, world of warcraft, LoL, everyday and need a computer that allows to me stream, while recording at the same time with or without a capture card, and not lag! I would love for this to last me another 3-5 years before upgrading.

So I need help choosing between an i7 4770k processor with SLI gtx 770's for first build.
Or an i7 3930k with a single gtx 770. (and upgrade to a 2nd when prices drop and I feel like I need more FPS boost.
Or should I get a i7 4770k and a single GTX 780??
All 3 of these are either below or dead on my budget. Because a local store sells the 4770k for $250 new, or the I7 3930k for 450 both $100+ off from websites like new egg. Which of the 3 will last me the longest? I was leaning towards the 3930k with a single gtx 770 for the extra cores being handy since streaming and recording at the same time will be VERY Cpu intensive.

Some people might say the 4770k will be enough, but will it? Im not sure if I will be lagging trying to record and stream at the same time? I could get the 3930k with a single 770 and upgrade to a second in a year from now ? Idk any help is very appreciated!

The cheapest of the 3 is getting a single gtx 780 and a 4770k, which will allow me to get a nicer cpu cooler like the h80i instead of a cheaper air cooler as well to think about.
