Your Monitor Resolution: Torn between 1920x1080 and 1560x1440 but probably will go with 1080p for dual monitor productivity and less fps hit than 1440
Additional Comments: Would like to be quiet, will be using Adobe software. Appearance does not matter.

Already have:
Corsair 760t full tower atx

I want this machine to be able to do all these tasks without any issues. so best of the best hardware.
will probably be using recording software. (please name good ones)
Want to be as future ready as possible so it will last many years.
if i should wait for upcoming products let me know.

For your system usage,i would look for an i7 4790k processor with a z97 board,great for gaming and editing/streaming.
For 1080p one GTX 970 or r9 390 should be fine.
A good quality 650w unit should be fine and will have room for upgraded parts in future.

With your budget I'd probably go with an Intel i7 Skylake with some sort of AIO Water cooler, A Nvidia 980 or 980Ti and if you might be using SLI in the future a 1000W 80+ Gold PSU

Went with the best consumer machine CPU there is, worth overclocking could probably get 5ghz out of it, 64gb of DDR4 RAM, which is pretty expensive but you said no budget so I went for it, and a couple of 980TIs.
