My current of is:
970a-ud3 motherboard
And fx 4350
HD 7770 ghz edition
Corsair vengeance 1 x 8Gb
500 or 600 watt power supply
Windows 7 premium

I want a new build or upgrade preferably new Intel pc, I'm looking at gaming and mostly playing games like the crew and Gta v when it's released. I like to stream so something that can play and stream would be amazing to have and I will be using one monitor.

Why settle for i5 when you can get i7 performance instead? :D

This right here is why I don't really endorse overclocking setups anymore. For less than $10 more, my rig has a far better GPU. ;)  Yes you lose Broadwell support with it, but I highly doubt Broadwell will be much of an improvement over Haswell. Prefer a single powerful card to a crossfire setup as well.

To be honest, Joseph also threw in an SSD also. You'd probably be able to get a 280x in there without it.
