My budget is around $1100ish and I would like to build a machine that is not only good for gaming, but for streaming in high quality as well. Something I would really like to have in this computer is 32gb DDR4, so try to work around that if you can. Thanks :pt1cable:.

I currently have a 1080p monitor, but I am planning to upgrade to a 1440p one so maybe keep that in mind?
 
1070 would be ideal for 1440p.

Solution
It's a little ove rbudget, but that is because of the i7 and 1070. But it will give you high quality streaming and high end gaming for 1440p.
