Here is my current build from Pc Part Picker http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3CdP7P. I wanted this to be a higer end gaming machine and play games with a 27 inch 1440p monitor. I had a few more questions before I go all in with this build. The ram is 2133, is that excessive? I know everyone says not to get an I7, but I want to be able to stream and run dual monitors. How exactly does an I7 help me more then an I5? I was looking at wireless adaptors, why are pci-e wireless adaptors more expensive then USB adaptors? Are they better? I plan on getting a second Video card in the future to SLI, should I get water cooling? Would I be able to fit water cooling in my case with that massive CPU fan im getting. Thanks for taking the time to read and answer my post!!!

2133 ram is OK these days. Its now not much more than 1600. Even 2400 is now cheap.

I7's are better at CPU related tasks than i5's. eg number crunching - video editing etc. No difference for streaming and dual monitors and gaming.

PCIE wifi adapters have better antennae. They work better.

You don't need water cooling for GTX970's. They don't generate that much heat.

The CM Hyper 212 evo is good for overclocking an i5. But for an i7, get a H100i or Noctua DH 14.

I'd get the evga supernova 750 gold rather than the RM750 per http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html
