I have a budget up to $2,000 for this purchase.
Obviously if it can be less than $2,000 for what I need that would be awesome!

Computer will be used for gaming, I play all kinds of games Battlefield to LoL to WoW to CS:GO.

Will occasionally stream games on twitch as well so dual monitors would be nice.

Price should include shipping if applicable.

Im looking for a new monitor, as big as I can get with the highest resolution, up to 32"!

Gonna be reusing some parts of my current build, listed below are the parts I will need:
  • Motherboard
  • CPU
  • GPU
  • Memory(if needed)
  • Monitor
  • CPU Cooler
  • Case Fans
  • Windows 8.1 64 Bit

I have 16GB Crucial Kit of DDR3 memory so only need memory if you think X99 build is best.

The case i'm using is Corsair 200R for reference in picking case fans and CPU Cooler.

System is currently using Fractal 750W PSU, although it was used in a litecoin mining rig.
I think it does give me some problems during load situations.

Any options or opinions you feel like giving would be awesome!

I am just so torn and undecided on my options!

Can you link to the exact memory kit? How many/what kind of GPUs were you using where you think the PSU was having issues and why?
 
I am using two of these kits.

Was using two power color R9 280X when mining using that power supply, ever since then the PSU
has been giving signs and symptoms of failure, albeit it has not failed or died yet.
Just think it is a matter of time!
 
Please answer the stickied "Answer These Questions First!" So that we can help you better.
 
Might as well go with an X99 system with the i7 5820k processor.

Suggestions:

MSI X99S XPowerAC (really nice I have it)
i7 5820k
G.Skill DDR4 Ripjaws 2800 4x4GB 16GB
Either an Nividia 980 or the MSI 290X Lightning
Corsair HXi 850w PSU

And something like the Samsung or BenQ 32" 2560x1440 monitor.
