Hello everyone,
It’s time for me to upgrade again, which I haven’t been able to do in years. My budget is around $800-$1000, a big enough range for some wiggle room if needed. I want to be able to run a lot of the newer games like Shadow of Mordor (not necessarily on Ultra, I know this game is a beast) and it is essential that this build can stream in HD (I don’t mind lowering graphical settings for this if need be but I would mostly be streaming less graphical intense games like DotA 2 and Hearthstone).
Places I will buy from: Newegg / Tigerdirect / Amazon
Things I want: Full size ATX board, don’t want a mini or micro ATX build / 256GB SSD (I already have another internal HDD to supplement it with)
Things I don’t need: Extra internal HDD / Operating System (I have windows 8.1) / any kind of disc drive / keyboard, mouse, monitor, headset, etc
Other thoughts: I’ve always used Intel and generally also Nvidia, but I am not married to these if someone can get a nice build in this price-range that would be as good as its counterpart or better / I’m thinking I may want an aftermarket cooler for the CPU if you think that’s needed and in my price range / I will likely put a list of parts I have compiled on here in an updat but I first want to see what everyone can come up with from scratch for me.
Thanks a ton!

Also, I never really understood the hype of SSDs, they never really made a big difference to me. I would get rid of the SSD and get an i7 4790k + Asus Z97-A so I could overclock, but that's just my personal preference.
