For reference, here is my 2 year old build:
OS:Windows 7 home premium
Case:Black coolmaster elite 430 w/window
Motherboard:Gigabyte Z68AP-D3
RAM:4x4GB corsair vengeance 1600mhz ddr3
CPU:Intel Core i5 2500k
GPU:NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560
HDD:1TB STA-III 6.0gb/s 32mb cache 7200rpm
PSU:Apevia 700watt
Asetek 510LC 120mm watercooler
I'm looking to upgrade the graphics cards, CPU, and motherboard
Currently this is what i have come up with so far:
OS:Windows 7
Motherboard:MSI Z87-G45
RAM: Not sure how much i'll need, is more than 8gb too much?
CPU:Not sure, looking for something above 4Ghz, quad-core, six core, 8 core? what are the advantages disadvantages?
GPU:NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 or 770
HDD: Looking for 2TB
PSU: Not sure how much power i'll need
I will mainly be using this for gaming with high/ultra graphics, Livestreaming gameplay, recording videos, and hosting private game servers from time.
