Not going to set a budget atm just Looking for some nice options, whatever you have to offer
current build will throw links in (built this 6/30/2012)

CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116501
*Thinking of keeping this and possibly upgrading further down the road, do want to look into water cooling and overclocking for either option

CPU Cooler: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835118223
*water cooling??
GPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130787
*considering gtx 970/80 and of course that 1080...mmmm (also what about AMD? have heard positive and negatives so curious)

MotherBoard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131820
*advice keep or toss?

RAM:(16g 4x) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231314
*suppose toss

HDD- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136769
*want to go to SSD, also wondering if I can simply keep this to hold games so I can get a cheaper SSD for now and upgrade a bit later

PSU- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182132
*upgrade to handle whatever I'm going for

Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147107
*possibly use for now depending on the price I can start upgrading (GPU and other essentials)

OS:win 10

Like I stated above I'm wanting to do this over time If need be, but upgrading GPU is one of my higher priorities.
I'm essentially wanting to spend to last this was my first build and has served me well, Path Of Exile is currently one of the games I'm into the most and I wan't to be able to stream that as flawless as possible (8/8 optimzation m8)

if anyone wants to just go ham with some upgrade to upgrade things to get this together but work towards after ill start with a $1,000 roughly for the next 3-4 months(if I go with a 900 series), but feel free to throw more as I put that as a comfortable zone :)

details for Water Cooling, RAM, MOBO, Case options I'm super interested in, everything else as well.

Just upgrade your gpu for now. Wait until amd release their cards and see if they r viable options compared to 1070 or 1080.

3770k will do u good enough atm. No reason for upgrading cpu just yet

thanks will a 970/980 require a better PSU?
also any recommendations for water cooling for the CPU?
