First of all, thank you guys so much for giving me some of your time to even read this, let alone answer it.
Ok, so the deal is this. I, like yourself (probably), am a gamer. I've been gaming for over 15 years ever since I was a little 5 year old tyke. And I've been slowly losing interest in gaming to be honest. Not because I'm "maturing" (as if gaming means you're immature) or whatever, but because its gotten boring doing it alone since I travel a lot. And my new alternative of killing time has become watching other Gaming Streamers play and chatting with them and other viewers.
Now I don't want to give up gaming at all, and the only way I can think of that will restore my excitement when gaming is streaming. I don't care whether it be 1-2 people or even a million people. As long as I'll have people to interact with when gaming I'm happy enough.
After going through that lengthy description of why I want what I want and knowing me a bit more here is my question.
I want to build a computer that will allow me to play big AAA games like LoL, DotA 2, CS:GO, LotR: BfME...etc. and at the same time stream them on Twitch or Azubu and later on upload them to YouTube at high FPS and the best resolution. My budget for the PC is around 2000$ I know what specs I need, but I don't know what brands will do well and vice versa. I know for my processor I need an intel core i7 that will give me 4ghz at least and can be overclocked. A GPU like the dual or maybe tri Nvidia GTX 980M Ti SLI that'll give me 8+GB. 16-32GB Memory...etc. But like I said. When it comes to brand names and stuff I'm clueless.
And since I travel a lot, I wanna be able to do that on the go using a laptop. I'm currently thinking of the MSI GT80 Titan (Since I can continuously upgrade it). But the only thing that confuses me is that I found 3 general types of Titans. There was the MSI GT80 Titan (casual titan with GTX 980M 8Gb [GT80 4720 HQ] and i7 4720), the MSI GT80 Titan SLI (dual 980M 8GB [GT80 4720 HQ] and i7 4720) and the MSI GT80 Titan Extreme (single 980M 8GB [GT80 4980 HQ] and i7 4980).
My question for that is this, If I get the casual one will I have the option to later on add another Graphics card and make it similar to the SLI one and same question for the Extreme but I'd also like to add since that the graphics card says GT80 4980 HQ does that mean I can only upgrade and/or add graphics cards with the same 4980 HQ thing?
I'm sorry if I sound ignorant and like I don't know much. It used to be buying whatever pc and playing at whatever setting to get 60 40-60fps for me but now I wanna know a little bit more.
Once again, thank you for your assistance and I hope you can help me with my issue.
And before anyone asks "Do you think you are a good gamer to be watched by other people to even consider buying such an expensive rig" I'd like to say yes I am, I've joined many and actually won quite a few local tournaments in SEA and the Middle East. And that you don't need good gaming skills to be watched by other people a great testament to that is Brofresco on Youtube. Is gaming skills aren't all that and has one of the shittiest ranks, yet because he is somewhat charismatic he's got tons of viewers and fans. Plus like I said, having 1 person watch me game and interact with me is well worth it for me.
