Ok so to put you in the loop, my pc is around 4.5 years old, i7 3770k and 660ti atm.

Looking to upgrade to High quality system, mainly for gaming, needs to be aesthetic. Some slight editing, possible streaming in the future.

These are the specs I was looking at.

Budget of £2100/$2600 w/ 144hz monitor.

If anyone has any suggestions, things I should remove/add/ I would appreciate it, I don't know too much about specs, would this be considered a good system?

Looks good. Of course you could just get the Graphics card and a different SSD and put them in your existing Machine. The 3770K is still pretty good, although if you are chasing 144 fps it might not get there. A G-synch monitor is worth considering too, personally I'm more interested in getting smooth looking graphics at any FPS rather than hitting crazy numbers. Anything 60+ is fine with me and >30fps will do in a pinch for most games.

I upgraded from a 3770 (non K) to a 6700K with a small overclock ~ 18 months ago and to be honest couldn't tell the difference.

Updated specs, of what I am looking to get, I will be having a brand new system, not looking to use any old parts for this new build, any other help much appreciated, I figured I'd need to get the HUE + for lighting.

I also wanted to replace the fans with the NZXT RGB Fans but I'm unsure how many/watch size I need
