I'm building an mATX computer for christmas, and hope to blow through games like BF4, Battlefront 3, CSGO, Dota 2, Civ 5, and maybe some Witcher 3. I want to have a decent graphics card for >$500 that will hold out until i upgrade to the next gen of Arctic Islands or Pascal next year.
NOTE: I am using an i7 6700k, and will overclock this and the gpu.

Here are the parts: https://pcpartpicker.com/parts/partlist/

-will this PSU be enough if i crossfire/sli my cards?

-Node 804 versus Prodigy M versus Corsair 250d versus Air 240 for the best case

-will this card handle these games well until next gen?

-can this rig handle streaming and recording?

Any and all suggestions for the build i will be grateful for. Thanks!

- Good motherboard choice. It should overclock well.
- The 390 just fits your case with all drive cages intact.
- Lots of options for the radiator, very nice.
- decent power supply with headroom.
- Case has option for slot load DVD. I think Silverstone has one if you want one.

Looks like a very good build. All parts look to be high quality and compatible. Well done. :)
