What is your budget?
Preferably under 1k

What is your resolution?
1920x1080

What are you using it for?
I basically only play SC2, DotA 2, and some WoW, I also do some GFX in Photoshop. The main thing I want to be able to do is stream all of the above in the highest possible quality.

What is your upgrade cycle?
At least 3 years but I don't plan on doing anything other than streaming the same games that I do now, I don't typically play any super crazy games and have no problem playing games on lower graphics as long as I can stream in a very high quality.

When do you plan on building it?
ASAP

Do you plan on overclocking?
I don't know how

Do you need an Operating System?
No

Do you plan to add a second GPU for SLI or Crossfire?
I'm currently using 2 GeForce 9600GT's , they are really old but the fact that I have 2 seem to make them still perform decent and I"m able to play everything still. So I guess I wouldn't mind getting 2x older graphics cards if they would perform better than 1 expensive one -o-

Where are you buying your parts from?
There's a Frys near me that I could check for deals but probably Newegg or Tigerdirect or where ever is cheapest.

Under 1k?

You would definitely have to build it yourself.

Remember, a lot of streaming is internet.

The better the upload, the better the stream.

Get 8g ram, w/e HDD, an i7 or i5, with like a 570 GeForce and you'd be golden right there.

Streaming at 1080p will require a lot of internet upload power.

On wireless ATM and I have 6mb/s upload, I can bring the router/modem into my room though if need be.

6mb of upload should do it.

All of that would be just fine.

My comp has same stuff except with a GTX 465 and it can run SC on extreme.

Would work fine.
