I am currently working on a Gaming/Video editing (for youtube), Live stream build. My budget is right at $2,000. I've been messing around with the build below for awhile. My question is, do you think this is good for what I'm doing? Not good enough? or Overkill?

Also, I use a 2 monitor setup. 1 for gaming, the second for browsing or what not while in game.

Nah, it's bad. For $100 more you get 2 GTX 970 which is better performing. And you can grab a i7-5820K for 2 more cores in video editing. After these, you're ready for 4K...

I've heard bad things about the NZXT H440 getting overly hot due to poor airflow. While I am a huge fan of the way this case looks, probably my favorite if airflow and keeping it cool is a huge issue i'd like to know so I can change that.
