Help with a new build?

[Agony099]

Pretend I have no idea what i'm doing... because that's probably mostly true

**Note** I already have a very good SSD still in it's box, so i don't need that included


Budget: Anywhere between $1000 and $2000 depending on suggestions
Resolution: 1920x1080
Games / Settings Desired: I play mainly things like WoW, arma, plan on maybe GTA 5, things like that so I don't play super high intensive games but if possible within this range then great!
Any other intensive software or special things you do (Frequent video encoding, 3D modeling, etc): possibility of streaming or local recording with OBS or other software with ease is a plus.
Country: USA
Parts that can be reused: SSD as stated above - would prefer a NZXT case
Do you need an OS?: Sure, lets do it


My current PC for comparison:

CPU
AMD FX-8350 CPU (8x 4.00GHz/8MB L2 Cache)
CPU Cooler
CORSAIR Hydro Series H60
Motherboard
Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3 -- AMD 970
Memory
16 GB [4 GB X4] DDR3-2133
Storage
2 TB HARD DRIVE -- 64M Cache, 7200rpm, 6.0Gb/s
Video Card
AMD Radeon HD 7850
Case
CoolerMaster HAF 922 Gaming Case - Black

All you will ever need for 1080p gaming. PSU is massive overkill but that isnt a bad thing, its on a crazy sale (its usually like 140 bucks). The GPU i had to link manually it isnt tracking the price correctly on pcpartpicker, its 209.00 and an extra 20 off with mail in rebate, its the best 1060 model as well. I excluded quite a few vendors, only included amazon, newegg, b+h and ncix US, the rest of the vendors on that site are sketchy and usually add shipping.

I should have also mentioned i prefer intel and want a gtx 1080 included my bad!

this system will do what you want, allow for overclocking, and have the extra overhead fore if you get into serious streaming and video editing.
**NOTE: at the time of forming this list no 1080's were available so the 1070 is a place holder **

The cpu is intel, and if you are playing at 1080p resolution there is no reason to spend over 200 bucks on a GPU the gtx 1060 will play any game on the market at ultra. You are just wasting money on a 1080 if you dont have a 1440p or high hertz monitor.

If you want a GTX 1080, upgrade your monitor too, you dont need a GTX 1080 with a 1080p monitor. Here you have a config with the GTX 1080, 27' 1440p 144Hz monitor with G-sync and NZXT high quality liquid CPU cooler.

Video showing this NZXT case with this NZXT liquid cooler working:

I will be upgrading monitors, I just want the GPU so that I have that out of the way and can upgrade down the line a few months
