Additional Comments:
About to purchase this system, specs pasted below, would like someone whos smarter than I am with builds to take a look and tell me (A) will it work and (B) is it worth what they are quoting me ($1900) (C) Can anyone point me in the direction of a responsive bluetooth setup/controller that will go through a wall (drywall, no brick or anything) where the system will sit, about 10 feet from where the user is positioned, and (D) a good wireless speaker set up that will work

And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Console finally broke, not going next gen.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

no, wait . if your monitor is 1080p ,you won't need to spend that money.IF your monitor is 4K , wait for Nvidia TitanX(coming at GTC 17-19 march) it should handle 4K easily. it may be heavily overpriced,but I think your budget can handle.

Went with GTX 970, with a crossfire type motherboard, from what I read here its better to just upgrade to dual 970s later than buy 980 at its inflated price. Using your suggestions I went with samsung evo 500gb SSD, with another TB backup regular drive.
Like I said I am no system engineer and I really dont have time to REALLY educate myself in the matter as well as I should.
My biggest concern is:
Video output resolution,
How to get the max output from the computer to the TV I am planning on using. Its max is 1080, Id like to play while actually seeig 1080, I know I am limited by HDMI cables, I also want to use the audio on the TV, is that a motherboard or video card specific feature because I read that there are certain types that do have audio out, and you have to get a certain type of cable to allow that to I am guessing?
Any help in that realm would be appreciated.
