Hello friends.

I have been a lurker of TH for about 8 years now, so this will be my first post.
I have built a number of systems over the years, but recently non at all. Infact the last time I built anything was 5 years ago [Being a student made me poor].

I am asking for some help in building my next system. A few things you should know...
I will be moving to South Korea, so that means I will be getting most my goods from www.gmarket.com

I was looking for something in the range for gaming with the ability to offer some streaming ability.
I have a 1Gps internet connection, so my attempt will be streaming at 2K or even 4k [if possible]. The point is I want to stream at the best quality supported by my internet speed.

I don't really have a budget, but I would like to keep the price under 1200USD.


Any advice or tips on the following would be very very much appreciated.


I have one of these monitors 144hz at decent resolution 10bit.
I plan on getting a 2nd one eventually.

2x 27" monitor

GPU
I want atleast an Nvidia 970 card.
But there are further options in the ATI range that seem very sexy to me. 8GB vs a 4GB card seems a no brainer, benchmark results have shown something different.

As for PSU, CPU, MOBO, COOLING, CASE etc...
I have made no decision yet. I must admit, I am a little taken back with all the different boards and chips recently. ANy suggestions would be very much appreciated.

I was however thinking about getting Xenon something without a dedicated graphics.
But.. I was told some time back by a friend of mine, that the Xenon has less pipelines of some sort cannot exactly recall. I plan on buying in the next 2 months or so.

I would personally go for the 970, but that entirely depends on what monitor resolution you plan to run. If it's 1080 then a 970 will handle the two monitors without problem. If you want to go 1440P or higher then I would either go for the 390X or the 980.

Thanks.

Do you have any advice concerning the MOBO and CPU?
For me that seems to be the biggest issue of this build.

I guess that depends on how much you want to spend.

$300 for the chip
$250 Mobo
Give or take.
