PC Build Suggestions Please

[Emelious]

So I'm thinking of building my first pc and am looking for a few suggestions on setups. I'd like to be able to play pretty much any pc game coming out on close the highest settings along with doing a little video rendering on programs such as adobe premier. I'd be using other programs such as mumble, skype, steam, microsoft suite. Other things I'd do is some video converting, photoshop, desktop mirroring in my living room and allowing access to a media server on the pc, and of course again gaming. I'll be using dual monitors and plan on running windows 7 unless someone can suggest a good reason to use windows 8.

Here are the things I'm hoping to have but not sure if more information is needed if so just ask. Of course everything on this "i would like to have list" is up for suggestions and recommendations from people with more experience. My preferred budget is around $1500 but if necessary can go as high a $2k not sure if that's enough but if not feel free to make a suggestion within my limits. Again not very experienced with this so if somethings won't work together or there is a better way for somethings that's cool

Things I would like to have:

• relatively quiet pc
• 2-3 front usb 3.0 ports and 6-8 rear usb 3.0 ports (unless 3.0 isn't needed)
• 1 HDMI port and a DVI port (will use adapter to connect second to HDMI)
• an ethernet port (my current internet speeds are 126Mbps down and 30 Mbps up)
• front mic in and front speaker out jack (both 3.5 mm)
• 1-2 rear mic and 1-2 rear speaker 3.5mm jacks
• 4th gen quad core with hyper threading
• 8-16GB of usable RAM
• 256GB SSD
• 1 TB HDD
• not sure about liquid vs air cooled system
• 1-2 blu-ray readers / burners (I'd be fine with just one)
• maybe wi-fi capable (although I'm pretty much always connected through ethernet)
• slots for memory cards (mainly SD and micro sd)
• don't care too much about the looks of the case but (blue is my preferred color for anything from lights to the metal itself)

Peripherals I have and plan on using with it be using (not all at the same time):

• 2 1080p HDTV's one is a 50 inch the other is a 24 inch both would be connected through HDMI
• A Razer usb keyboard (uses 2 usb ports)
• A razer USB mouse
• turtle beach X12 headset (maybe in the future i'll buy a bluetooth headset)
• 720p usb web cam
• 1-2 usb 3.0 external HDD's (one is 500gb and the other is 1TB, sometimes connected and would be sharing ports with one another and flash drive)
• 2 Xbox One Controllers
• Usb Flash Drive (sometimes connected)
• Iphone

Thanks in advance for all the help ^_^

So basically you are looking for 1.5-2k bucks for main unit only, not monitors?

[Beatndown]

most of your money will go to CPU and GPU

I have a AMD 8350 and a GTX 770 along with a GTX 550ti 850PSU

But if ur a Intel person you might as well go with a I7 which is gonna cost you with the GTX 780 Your looking at 1k to 1.2k just with that.

Or something. If you're looking to spend more than $1500, sink some more money into either your case (get something neat looking, but the Carbide is sexy.) your SSD (Maybe a larger size, maybe a higher quality, though corsair SSD's aren't bad.), your CPU Cooler (Liquid cooling with the H100 would be pretty baller, but it's a significant step up in price.), orrrrr your Power Supply (modular?).

You could change the video card to either GTX 780 for an extra $100~ but it's not worth it imo.

Max budget, blu-Ray reader/writer, card reader bay, o/s, Xfire setup with all rest of goodies. Obviously you can get one gpu with a smaller power supply and be fine:
