hi all, I'm planning on building a new computer, and looking to at least have most components selected if not bought by the end of this year. the machine will be used for gaming, editing 1080p video(from camcorder, and game play captured using shadow play). for a CPU, I'm going with the Intel core i5-4690K (3.5 g, LGA 1150), but I'm stuck on mother board, rite now I'm looking at :

http://www.microcenter.com/product/415505/Maximus_VI_Extreme_Socket_LGA_1150_ATX_Intel_Motherboard

as of now, the plan is to eventually be able to run 3 screens @1920x1080 (likely do surround) on 3 cards in SLI, 16 GIGS of ram (maybe up to 32), and for ram Im thinking ether crucial ballistix tactical, or ballistix sport (if you have another suggestion please feel free).

http://www.microcenter.com/product/385181/Ballistix_Sport_8GB_DDR3-1600_%28PC3-12800%29_CL9_Desktop_Memory_Module

for now if you guys could give you feed back these parts, that would be much appreciated.

thanks in advance.

(excluding the MOBO/ RAM because those are the variables, but i think i can hit in the $250-300 range for a board)

as far as over clocking, ill probable bump the i5 to 4.0, the graphics card is at 1GHz now, and i dont see myself going past 1.5GHz.

for budget, im looking at say $1000, and depending on how things go between November of this year, and feb/ march 2015, i might be able to reach the $2000 mark.
