I want to build a good strong pc build for 3000$ or less.
Please give me good suggested replaces in this build. I want to make sure that this is the final build that I will make. I want it to be accurate, and strong. I don't do hardcore gaming, like Crysis3, and stuff. I do plan to want to play Borderlands Pre Seq, and Far Cry 4. I also livestreaming on twitch, and I record for youtube, so I want to be able to render videos so fast, so I dont waste any time.

I dont plan to ever overclock anything
I dont plan todo any type of custom water cooling
I will only do closed loop water cooling (Dont wanna have to waste money buying more and more liquid, plus, its safer this way)
I want a red and black theme if possible.

~What I Plan To Build~

If you don't plan to ever overclock, why get a processor and a board that is designed for overclocking? Why get a cpu cooler if you don't need to cool your cpu cause it's never gong to get overclocked? Spend less on that and sli the cards, wait for 900 series too

Just go with this even though you don't play to overclock as you don't want to regret at all which so much to spend on.

If you're going to be doing video editing, then you should add an SSD as the cached drive, that should really help remove bottleneck.
Otherwise, at the very least, switch in your hard drives for Caviar Blacks, because Caviar Blues aren't really aimed at performance.
Also, since you're going for content creation, I recommend using the X99 platform with the Haswell-E processors.
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/intel-core-i7-5960x-haswell-e-cpu,3918-5.html
They, combined with DDR4 memory (makes for a faster RAMDisk if you're going to do that) will help speed encode times more than the 780Ti will. The 5820K (http://pcpartpicker.com/part/intel-cpu-bx80648i75820k) will help slightly, for pretty mucht the same price, and the 5930K adds even more of an advantage.

I even threw in a sound card for you. :) You don't have to overclock anything, but you'll have one of the fastest computers you can get, and if you later decide to OC it will be available to you.

Sound cards produce audio quality far superior to any motherboard ever made. Besides it was just a suggestion, he can do whatever he likes with it. :) And if he's spending $3000, why not make it Blu Ray capable? You're right about the CPU Cooler, not needed, but he has the option of buying it later if he ever decides he wants to.

I could have also added what to my mind (if every review out there is to be trusted) is one of the greatest gaming monitors ever made, the Asus ROG SWIFT PG278Q. I'm just having fun here :)

I would recommend the 2nd build

1st build vs 2nd build:
The 1st build has better keyboard, and little better graphics and little better ssd.

The 2nd build has the X99 Extreme mobo, x99 i7 Extreme processor, DDR4 NEW RAM, little better CD drive & better monitor.
The only thing in the 2nd build is that the accesories (keyboard, mouse and fan) are little degraded, not that much bad. :D
So I recommend the 2nd build(its newer and better overall, except peripherals ;)).

The onboard sound will be 'fine' but it won't be good.

Bro you're getting a lot of information here, do yourself a favor and research a lot of this stuff yourself so you make an informed decision. Think of these builds as a starting point and pick and choose the components that seem best to you, then it will be your creation, not ours.
