Hi Everyone,
I am looking to build my first rig and some friends sent me here for advice on builds. I tried to use the sticky post to get all of the relevant info, but if someone could help with a suggested build or some advice it would be greatly appreciated.
Approximate Purchase Date: e.g.: Within the next month.
Budget Range: $1500-2000 (flexible if needed to be a little over)
System Usage from Most to Least Important: (Gaming, watching streams)
Are you buying a monitor: No, I currently have 3 ASUS VS239-H-P Monitors that I would like to incorporate into the build.

Do you need to buy OS: Yes, is now the time to upgrade to Windows 10?
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: NewEgg, Amazon, no real preference but those are where I get the majority of my parts.
Location: Virginia Beach, Virginia in the United States
Parts Preferences: I'm not in the NVIDIA or AMD camp, but would like something that is simple and reliable.
Overclocking: Maybe, my father has some experience overclocking systems and he is going to help with the build so I may ask him to tinker with the rig for me.
SLI or Crossfire: Yes / Maybe (I'm not sure how the technology has advanced but I think this is still a requirement for 3+ Monitor Gaming)
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080
Additional Comments: I would like to stay away from Water Cooling as I am a beginner and I think that would be a little advanced for me. I also would like to incorporate atleast a 500GB SSD as I have had storage capacity problems in the past. I typically like to play games such as Dota 2, CS GO, Far Cry, Skyrim etc. while also leaving open a stream of either Twitch or HBO go or something on a secondary monitor, so I would like the rig to be able to perform at that level.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: For fun, my rig is around 7-8 years old and I recently got some bonus money for working my tail off during the winter. I have some vacation planned in the next few weeks that I thought would be a good time to tackle this project. Any help or suggested builds would be great. Thanks!
