Hey all! I'm looking for some advice on a build for a high quality streaming, editing and gaming computer I'd like to follow a Black and Blue Led scheme. With a budget around 1,500. But all build ideas are welcome.

Thanks again!

Check out Pcpartpicker.com for some ideas on part combos. Essentially, try to get a 4790k and GTX 780. 8-16 gigs of ram depending on budget. If you can't quite afford the 4790k, don't worry, a 4690k will probably meet your needs as well. It should be doable on your budget.

The only thing is that the most popular part colors for motherboards, peripherals, and cases are black and red, not black and blue. For this reason, it will be a little harder to meet your budget if you are restricted to blue parts.

This one is just around $1500 and is what I would buy were I in need of a build in that range, assuming you don't need to budget for a windows install. If you do, I'd say drop one of the storage options and buy it at a later date (You can temporarily reuse an older data drive too if you want, just plan on replacing it). They'll be cheap and easy to add later. The SSD will increase system performance by a large factor though, you'll want it in such an expensive build, and it's easier to add storage than it is to upgrade expensive CPU and GPU components.
