I am looking for a gaming computer that I can play most games in 1080p in at least 50 fps on Ultra or at least high. I will most likely play Battlefield 4 in Ultra. I want to stick with this computer for at least 3-4 years without any major upgrades along the way. I also want to record or livestream my gameplay, so I need some extra performance for that.
As all computer builders, they want to show off what they got. So, I will like things that light up and make a great impression. I have a budget of $1500-$1700. If you can, recommend me any good moniters for 1080p and some gaming peripherals. I got a build of my own below, so change everything that might be worth changing for increase performance or low cost. Also, if you can recommend me a good and reasonably priced motherboard and is black or blue colored.

Question: Does Nvidia continue manufacturing the GTX 690?

Thanks.

the 4790k can OC up to about 6ghz i've seen and if you hack the voltage on the 780 then it can perform very close to the ti but this is quite advanced and I don't know how to do it myself. The rest of the build you have...

I like how you added the 4790k. I will definetly add that, but I want the corsair 760t as my case because it's so awesome. I also don't need any mechanical hard drives. Just 1 SSD will do just fine. Also about the motherboard, it is not SLI compatible. I found the Asus Z97-A motherboard, so I will most likely use that. Updated build is below. Should I do 780 ti or 760? I just want to run most games on Ultra in 50-60 fps and without an upgrade for about 3-4 years.

Are you sure you don't need a normal HDD because games do take up a HUGE amount of space. I don't really recommend going above 2 way SLI because it can get a bit unrealible performance wise. If you really want that case then go for it but it is VERY pricey and I really think a bit to much to spend on the case at this budget and so I had to drop back to a 780 rather then the ti version. Here's what I changed below

Is the 4790k good for overclocking at least 4.5ghz? Also, can I overclock the 780 to perform almost like a 780ti? Another thing is that I want a black finish to the computer. I am not looking for a red color. I like the Asus Z97-A better because it has the colors I want and I read some good reviews on it. Also, you do not need to add the moniters, keyboard, and mouse to the build. I don't need them. Sorry I am keep on forgetting the links for the builds, but here is one below.
