(So on my first post I formatted incorrectly, didn't read all the stickys >.<. Here it is with the update.)

Do you need to buy OS: Yes.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.com, amazon.com, or cheapest that is reliable.
Location: NJ, USA

SLI or Crossfire: Yes.
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080, or higher with multiple monitors.
Additional Comments: Thinking about using a dedicated capture card to help with the streaming and video editing load.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Current model is outdated and incapable of streaming and gaming at max settings and 1080p.
Hi everyone,
First off, I just wanted to say that I wasn't sure if this was the appropriate place to post this thread, but I saw similar posts and figured it would be fine.
So this is going to be my first build from the ground up and need a decent amount of help, I plan on building a computer capable of gaming and streaming at max settings and don't know even really where to start except to focus on the CPU and GPU. My current budget is around $3,000 US, but a little over is fine and a little under even better.
Some of the things I plan to include are a SSD for the boot drive, a decent capture card, and pretty much all the peripherals including a multi montior display, speakers, sound card, keyboard, mouse, head set, etc.
So thanks for your help and contribution in advance, I'll check back a few times a day to answer question and provide input.
Ryan
