    First build for streaming, video making, gaming.

    Budget
    1200-1600$ tell me If I can get this kind of PC in that price range. By the way I can buy monitor later.

    Resolution
    1900x1080

    Games / Settings Desired
    World of Warcraft - high/ultra (10 man, 25 man only in LFR so I don't care If I get 40-50 fps... arenas, battlegrounds)
    League of Legends - ultra
    Battlefield 3 - high / ultra
    Call of Duty - high /ultra
    Far Cry 3 - high / ultra
    NEW GAMES? - it's not very important for me to run them ultra settings.

    Any other intensive software or special things you do (Frequent video encoding, 3D modeling, etc)
    Streaming, making some videos from arenas, raids maybe, recording about random stuff.

    Country
    CANADA

    Parts that can be reused
    NO.

    Do you need an OS?
    No, I don't need but I need an advice Windows 7 64-bit or Windows 8 64-bit?

    Do you need peripherals (e.g. monitor, mouse, keyboard, speakers, etc)?
    Monitor - probably IPS, but I was thinking about 120hz monitor. I never tried 120hz monitor so I don't know how it works. I tried 75hz monitor and what I found my eyes werent tired like on standard 60hz. I'm a gamer, I saw that playing on 120hz is very smooth. I would like to get an answer from people who have 120hz monitor - HOW IT WORKS WHEN YOU PLAY GAMES WITH 60-80 FPS !?

    I consider buying Razer Naga, Razer Naga Hex or SteelSeries Ikari. I have long fingers and I don't know how it will fit to my hand. I found some bad reviews about Razer Naga and Hex they're bad quality, is that true?

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    My first build:
    http://pcpartpicker.com/p/16yfz (NOT COMPLETED)
    Those RAM are compatible with this MOBO, but I consider other MOBOs like:
    GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UP4
    MSI Z77 MPOWER
    ASUS P8Z77-V PRO

    I was thinking about EVGA 02G-P4-3677-KR GeForce GTX 670 FTW or should I stick with GeForce 770?

    I don't plan to SLI, but maybe in future I will buy second graphic card so 2 card SLI is the max and it's MAYBE.

    I'm not sure about cases, I want MINIMALISTIC with front USB and headphones, I want my graphic card to fit in easily and I want a good cable management AND GOOD COOLING !

    Is that PSU enough and good for my PC? Antec TP-650G

    I never tried WATER COOLING, it looks nice and it's not BIG ! Should I try this? :>

    YES, I WANT TO OVERCLOCK TO 4 - 4.5 GHz+

    BY THE WAY, PLEASE DON'T MAKE ANY DEBATES HERE BETWEEN OTHERS, DON'T MAKE OFFTOPIC ETC. IF YOU WANT DEBATES THEN MAKE ANOTHER TOPIC FOR THAT.

    I don't have an SSD. Is that a big performance difference If I have it? If yes, then please advice me which should I buy? 120 GB should be fine for me.

    With a nice IPS monitor.

    Things to note though.

    Only if you are certain you have plans going SLI in the future then you might up the PSU to 750.
    I added 250 gb SSD since the budget allowed it, if you don't need the extra space you can downgrade it for the 120gb Samsung 840.

    I think the space is enough but for speed i might suggest possibly getting 2 500GB and putting them in a Raid 0

    Thank You for responses, hmm guys, I don't want a 4th generation processor, I would like to stick to i7-3770k which is a very good processor too and easy to overclock and I heard it's even better to overclock than i7-4770k. Also it is only just a modest improvement.

    Can I get some really good PC setup from You with i7-3770k, good MOBO to overclock, good cooler with good size so it can fit to the case which is minimalistic with good cooling, same like graphic card (670 or 770?) good PSU GOLD and then good ISP monitor?

    It will be probably cheapier and I can save some money which is awasome
    It can be like 1100-1300$ or something.

    I'm slightly confused by your post, there is no way you'll get all this for $1100-1300 and you want an IPS monitor to be included in that? Anyways here are some changes, let me know what you think.
