I was looking to make a really good PC for livestreaming games on twitch.tv and gaming in general. I'm looking to play on two 23in 1920x1080 monitors in 1080p. While streaming I'm hoping to get aroun 50-80fps in games that are intense on your PC like DayZ battlefield etc. I will also be O.C my CPU to hopefulyy 4.3 or 4.5 or higher if I can. I'm not sure if these are the best but here is the PC:

What you picked was a very good build I made some changes just as suggestions, I don't like running SLI cards when a single card would give you the performance that you need. 3 years from now when you need more performance then add another card and run SLI then. Also seasonic is one of the best Psu makers, this is cheaper than your option. I also added in an h100i water cooler, its quiet, does the job and looks good in a case.

The 4770k extra performance I can't justify the $100 price over the 4670k. I noticed you left off an HDD so I am figuring you already have one and left it off but i would recommend a Kingston V300 120 gb SSD with a 1 TB WD Blue Hdd.

Sir, I bow to you....


For 4.3-4.5 you might want to invest in a better cooler? The NHD 14 will be just fine but for long term it will be better to keep the CPU at lower temps.

Also, might be good to lose the two 770s and get a 780 Ti. It will have better performance in non SLI games.

If you like the MOBO, go with Abscent's suggestion. The 4670k is much better value than the 4770k and they fit in the same socket. But that is your call.

As far as cooler goes, the NHD 14 is really an excellent air cooler providing better temps than even an h80i, but it is gigantic and doesnt fit in alot of cases. For best performance, go with a water cooler, assuming your budget allows.

The corsair h100i and Cooler Master Glacer 240L are among the best, with the 240L being the best 240mm cooler because of its all copper radiator design.
