Honestly, SSDs would get pricier for some time to come. Stick with a WDBlue or black. The SSDs are said to be increasing because of silicon shortages.......
Anyways streaming looks good and if you do plan to render, it will be good. Still do you need a monitors? I provided some good cheap 1440p ones. The AOC for rendering and the Acer for gaming. Don't use ips for rendering. Anyways 750 watts is enough for 2 1080s in SLI. A 550is enough for one.

And honestly if you're getting s set of four sticks stead of tow, get 32GB 4x8. It's like twice as much but I mean that's where is is worth it.

A few questions. Is there a reason for a large SSDs? A good wd black will do.
Also do you need OS? Monitor? Mice and keyboards?
And if you do look at the monitors I gave the top one for gaming. The bottom one for rendering.

Choose one. Anyways there's room for a second gtx 1080 if you want one in the future. Though it won't be as effective unless you go 5930k.

Also. When the broadwell e i7 6800k comes out, buy that. You get 5930k for 150$ less.

Looking at your build I think I would change the RAM to a kit of 4. That platform uses a Quad Memory Controller might as well take advantage of it. If you want to SLI two GTX 1080s a 750w power supply is recommended so 1000w is more than you need, but that is okay. Storage is okay though what are you doing that you require so much storage? I've never worked on that case before so I have no idea how it is.

Thanks for all of the great tips, I was going to start streaming and recording etc with the new build. would 750 for sure be enough? I'm not to sure on what wattage this build will need, I was planning on using some HDD storage until SSD got a little cheaper then move to that. Two more question, Does this build support SSD and if so how many cards of SSD could I add to it in total? Does this MOBO have enough fan headers to support 5 case fans then the two CPU fans? Thanks so much for the detailed response.

SSD prices have been increasing the last 2 weeks on most brands. Lots of shortages on the most popular models. Not a good time to buy big expensive models. Besides SSDs are great for loading things fast I wouldn't buy them for bulk storage. For that use a spinning drive they are much cheaper. If you want to get better performance on a spinning drive get a WD black.

yep just as I said.

anyways to answer the OPs question, here are the listed connectors

1 x AAFP connector
1 x TPM connector(s)
1 x COM port(s) connector(s)
1 x CPU Fan connector(s) (1 x 4 -pin)
1 x CPU OPT Fan connector(s) (1 x 4 -pin)
4 x Chassis Fan connector(s) (4 x 4 -pin)
1 x S/PDIF out header(s)
1 x Thunderbolt header(s)
1 x 24-pin EATX Power connector(s)
1 x 8-pin ATX 12V Power connector(s)
1 x EZ XMP switch
1 x System panel(s) (Q-Connector)
1 x Chassis Intrusion connector(s)
1 x DRCT header(s)
1 x MemOK! button(s)
1 x Thermal sensor connector(s)
1 x TPU switch(es)
1 x EPU switch(es)
1 x CPU/DRAM overvoltage jumper(s)
1 x Power-on button(s)
1 x Reset button(s)
1 x Clear CMOS jumper(s)
1 x 5-pin EXT_FAN(Extension Fan) connector
Click to expand...

anyways theres 4 4pin connectors. you can connect a fan to the ext fan header, which is 5 pin, but wont use it. since the R1 I gave is a dual fan dual tower cooler, you will need the OPT CPU fan connector.

What would you recommend for ram that is 32GB and 4x8? If you have a few choices I'm open to anything around 100 to 150$? Thanks for all of the help so far
