Hello :)

So I'm going to build a new pc as my other one probably can't run minecraft ;)
But I was looking at builds as game a lot and wanted to invest in a computer that has good components as I would like to have high-end graphics while still having a good frame rate and didn't know if I should have a 2-way SLI

eg EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Ti X2 ? so i can play high end games on high settings while still maintaining a high FPS

Build
Intel Core i7-4930K 3.4GHz 6-Core Processor - CPU
Corsair H105 73.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler- CPU cooler
Asus Rampage IV Black Edition EATX LGA2011 Motherboard - Motherboard
[iCorsair Dominator Platinum 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1866 Memory][/i] x2 ?- Memory (Don't know anything about Memory)
Samsung 840 EVO 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive X2 -Storage ( Do i need more yet again reccomend anything good/better! )
EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Ti X2 -Graphics Card
Corsair Professional Gold 1200W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply-Power
no clue on Operating system
Any recommendations for a case?

So then i was looking at streaming on Twitch and didn't know if i would need a 2nd PC for the encoding etc but cant find any stream builds ( If anyone can give me a Stream Pc build as well eg Capture card , CPU etc got no idea )

But if anyone can improve/tweak my build as i dont want anyone to get the impression im buying expensive parts for the sake of it as i do enjoy gaming and want a PC to enhance the experience even more!

Thanks for anyone who has read this!:D (£2500 is max Price Bracket)

That PC is unneccessary for gaming.

CPU- Save money and get an i7 4790K
Motherboard- Get an ASUS ROG board like the HERO VII
RAM- Corsair Vengeance Pro 16gb (2x8gb) 1866mhz
SSD- That is fine, though you may want to pick up an HDD for more storage when it comes to games
GPU- Get a GTX 980 or 970 and work on upgrading to SLI 970 (Although one 970 is more than enough to max out games like BF4 and get avg 60-70 fps
OS- Win 8.1 for sure
PSU- 1200w is overkill

You don't need a capture card.
This would do anything you wish, operating system and programs on the Samsung SSD, all games loaded on the MX 100 SSD and the black drive for storage or recording to if you wish to make some YouTube videos.

For future proofing I would stick with the 6 core Intel processor some games already show better FPS with more cores.
Stay away from Asus ROG boards their way overpriced for what you get.

Yeah i know it looks like a lot/unnecessary I just wanted a PC I wouldn't have to change/Upgrade for a while !
Yeah i was looking at the i7 4790K ! But didn't know as the i7-4930K can process multiple tasks better but didn't know if that was significant or not ? But yes, the i7 4790K is definitely a better option ! :)

a i7 4790K, z97 chipset motherboard, and GTX 970 are future proofed. And in the next year or two, if you want to add in another GTX 970, you'll be set for even longer. An i7 4930K is not going to make a noticeable difference in games as much as it would for CPU heavy applications like video editing/rendering. My opinion, stick with my build posted above or something close to it, so in time you can upgrade to the newer CPU without feeling like you spent a lot on a 4930K only to feel like it isn't much use to you and that a new generation CPU would benefit you more
