Hey! So I finally decided to build my own computer. It will be my first build ever, and looking for some feed back.

The purpose of the machine is as follows
1) HD Gaming on ALL games (1080P-1440p with the ability to within two years to upgrade to 4k)
2) Streaming. I want a computer that will have no hit on FPS when streaming at 720.
3) Data crunching. My main job is a data analysis and although I have no current use for programs like SAS/Stata at home, I want a computer that can handle it.
4) Upgradability. I want a computer that can potentially last 4-6 years before requiring an entire new system.

My current build is as follows: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/axgosser/saved/#view=FkpwrH

Any feed back is most appreciated!

i live in the chicago area and will most likely go with micro center. I play on using SLI someday, and don't really have a budget (though if I can get everything I want under 2.5k including monitors, I'd be really really happy)

Awesome build, looks alot like mine! although i went with the i7 6700k for future proof reasons and has better memory support. and seems to be faster for gaming. althought both are very good CPU's your PSU is a little over kill.. 750 evga would do just fine. just make sure its the B edition.

This is my build

i7 6700
asus z710 pro gaming
980ti hybrid
32 gbs ram ADATA XPG
250 evo ssd
750 evga psu
