Hello everyone, I have been away from PC's for a long time now and have not built one in years. The last one I built was back in the Battlefield 2 days and countless hours of playing Broodwar. Now I have just been stuck on a little old laptop that can't do much but surf the web. I would like to get back into some serious gaming and eventually some photo editing. I have looked at a few different parts but I am lost with everything at the moment and have no idea what is good and not anymore. I would appreciate any an all the help that you offer. I think I have provided all the things that will be needed to help me out, but if I need to elaborate on anything more please let me know. Thanks again for any help.

Approximate Purchase Date: 1-2 Weeks

Budget Range: $1,500 US(can be a little more)

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Mostly Gaming, Photos, Streaming.

Parts Not Required: keyboard, monitor, mouse, os

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg

Country: United States

Parts Preferences: Intel

Overclocking: Yes

SLI or Crossfire: Maybe

Monitor Resolution: Right now would just like to run all games at 1080p.

Additional Comments: I would like to be able to run the new games that are out and coming out. ***Dual 4k Monitors By September*** I also need a wireless adapter. Is liquid cooling something that I would be able to add later on, if I wanted to?
