Looking to build a PC
Hey all! I'm planning on building a PC for the first time and was hoping you guys could help me pick out the parts I would need for it, I've got a budget around $2,000-$2,500 and I'd be using it for gaming and possibly streaming.

http://www.logicalincrements.com is a pretty good website for beginners, but do be aware that it doesn't give prices for sound cards and other addons.
Of course, that's just a good place to start so you'd still need a little more expertise.
Do you need any peripherals and o/s? monitor(s)-keyboard-mouse?
For a core unit, try this out for size, with its placeholder GPU:

The placeholder GPU is because the GTX970 and GTX980 are due to be paper launched pretty soon.
