Approximate Purchase Date: Can be anywhere from this month to the next three, reason beeing is I'm probable going to live abroad to study.
Budget Range: Approximately $15000
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Would be gaming, video streaming, and maybe if I get into it video editing, but nothing major.
Parts Not Required: Keyboard, Mouse, OS. I'll get those appart, and monitor isn't a priority, although I would like some advice on the matter.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: amazon.com
Country: Mozambique, but as I said above, I might be traveling not sure where, either Europe or Australia.
Parts Preferences: No preference.
Overclocking: Most probably, never done it, but I'll look around after I get the rig.
SLI or Crossfire: Yes, in the near future, will by one first, then the other.
Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080, don't think I need 2560x1600 so soon, and $1000 for a monitor is just too much imo.
Additional Comments: Haven't used a desktop in quite a while, but I'd like something that would let me sleep at night while pc was on.
I picked these parts about a week ago, but since then I've been reading up on stuff and got real undecided.

Firstly I thought on going with the GTX 570, but then I had a change of heart and went with the HD7870. The 7870 is PCI-E 3.0, and the mobo isnt 3.0 compliant. My question is if I should invest in a 3.0 system, as its seen by some as future-proof.
The SSD is mainly for the OS, as I think it should be separated from the other things in case something goes wrong.
And I was thinking somewhere along the line of putting a CPU Water Cooling system if necessary.
Never done this before, any kind of help would be much apreciated. Thanks.
