This Build will be used for Gaming/Streaming/ and Gaming Video making for Youtube.

I am taking this jump from Laptop to PC which is why I need all the accessories and peripherals.

If I am going to need to buy any wires, cables or adapters please let me know that as well cause I have no clue and would hate to have to wait and order them.

Everything sounds good except for the fact I want a dual monitor set up for streaming

Wouldnt the 6GB of ram on EVGA help with Dual Monitor?

I care a little about looks. MOSTLY about performance. the reason I picked other MOBO was cause it red and black. but after looking I can deny the asrock gives me a much better bang for the buck.

I prefer the Dominators over the Ripjaws tho
I need to dual monitor for streaming I know the 144hz is alot BUT the difference in looks would urk me. and atleast I will have a back up should one break
the GPU that was suggested is better bang for buck. but the 6GB vram on the 780 I picked should be better with Dual Monitoring and streaming right??

PSU I picked because I do plan to SLI later i the future. and I went head room and OC

Tom's liked the ASRock - http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/enthusiast-z97-moth...
I use ASRock X79 and have had no probl;ems. I particularly like their UEFI - easy cpu overclocking and fan control and pc monitoring.

I like and use GSkill. I think it's much better for the money. I think Corsair memory is like Alienware - too much hype and self promotion.

6gb does nothing. Its just a gimmick. See http://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/Video-Card-Pe.... 3 gb is more than enough.

I wouldn't get 144hz monitors. 60Hz is OK. 144 costs too much for no real benefit. No-one notices the difference between 60 and 100 Hz.

2 x 780's need 850W OK. And Corsair HX are great. But the reason they're great is that they're made by Seasonic. As I said, Corsair are good at marketing. And bump their prices up accordingly. The Seasonic M12II's are better and cheaper - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

x99 will be nice but if you are gaming mostly I think that you will find the build i did on newegg will perform better. I think that the 4790k will also be better than the 5920k unless you OC it to 3.8+

Refer - http://www.anandtech.com/show/8426/the-intel-haswell-e-cpu-review-core-i7-5960x-i7-5930k-i7-5820k-tested/6
What's interesting is that the original Haswell i7 (4770k) is better than some Haswell-E CPUs for gaming. Better than Haswell refresh 4790k

Gaming wise, Haswell E is not really worth the money. Of the Haswell E CPUs, Tom's though the 5820k was the best proposition.

I'd use Haswell-E for SLI high end cards; especially more than 2 cards. And I'd use Haswell-E for cpu intensive tasks such as video editing - making the use of more cpu cores.

Interesting I think that the refreshes are worth it just because the TIM. I have the 4670k and it gets hot when you OC.

Thank you for all ur help. the x99 seems just too overkill for what I am doing. Plus thanks to i7Baby I got my original build confidently right below my 3,000 budget.
