New rig for gaming % streaming

Budget:
$2500 or a bit more

Usage:
For streaming and gaming without dropping frames.

some games I will be playing would be , League of legends, Overwatch, CSGO, H1Z1, GTA, and maybe a few high end games in the future.

Special Needs:
Nothing really as long as I can stream and game well at the same time!

Specifications:
So, I am by not really smart when it comes to picking computer parts. I have researched some information and slowly learning from there, but it would be nice to have everyone's help! I never had a high end gaming PC before this would be the first.

Thanks in advance for the help and I hope this new beast PC will be fun to have!

If you have the budget get the gtx 1070 and the 2 terabyte

With these I can assure you, you will be able to play the listed games with ease

Welcome to DS. The more knowledgeable will be quite detailed in their suggestions but you need to start with the resolution you are using or are planning to use, 1080, 1440. or 4K. That will dictate what components will drive your monitor at reasonable refresh rates. You are in the right place to get a really good system. Good luck.

Hi itzjaacky.... Here's a config that'll play great on your 1080p monitor and stream just fine. It's the Apollo level 2 but with a better power supply, gold vs Bronze, longer warranty drives and EVGA 1070 with custom cooler.

I added internal lighting for some nice lighting effect.

See what you think and hope this helps.

Oh yeah, just noticed you're from Canada. Big difference in price.     

Check out the Vanquish level 2 or 3.   They are the best bang for your buck and with the gtx 1070, will play just as good. You just don't have as many config options.   

Here's another attempt, this time with the Canadian configurator....

I dropped the overclocked CPU and overclocking, reduced the SSD, dropped internal lighting but kept in the important stuff.....like an I7 for your streaming, Gold psu for its warranty, fully modular wiring and efficiency and the gtx 1070.   You could go gtx 1060, but heavier hitting games will need to be tweaked a bit.   

I'd go with the Asus 1060 Strix for its custom board and cooler, factory overclocked and fans that stay off until needed, 60c they advertise.   

If you mean the CPU overclock, switching cards doesn't effect it.   the CPU and video cards can be overclocked independently.

That config looks good.

Yeah, I'd go gtx 1070 if possible.   A little extra $$$ now means saving in the long run with it giving you more longevity.

DS sends whatever cables and hardware are left over after their assembly. My guess is you'll get an extra SATA cable or two, but don't hold me to it.

You could, in Build Comments at the bottom of config, ask for an extra SATA cable or two.

Good luck and keep us updated.
