Wanting to stream various games via twitch at 1080p with a decent frame rates, will mainly be League of Legends/World of Warcraft so not the most intensive of games. Budget is around £2000 including a dual monitor setup, the only thing i don't require would be a keyboard/mouse. It's been a while since i built my own rig and subsequently have little knowledge of today's hardware but after browsing various other similar titled threads I put together this spec. Gone a a little light on the speaker setup as i will mainly be using headphones, would this be fine for my requirements or would you recommend something else for the budget?

Thanks in advance guys!

Thanks Micky I think I might do that, don't really have a clue when it comes to decent sound card/speaker setup though, any recommendations anyone?
 
1B of SSD for similar price, the case has a lovely LED strip that will match the LED of the case, its one of the main highlights. Please get an external optical drive, internal ones make everyone sad :P, added in some cable extension to make the build look nicer. Rest is spot on.

Cheaper SSD and just as good as the Samsung equivalent and some slightly better speakers so they're not totally awful to listen to.

Wouldn't bother with a sound card, the onboard cards are fantastic nowadays especially on high end motherboards.

Personally, I'd have 1 144mhz and 1 24" standard IPS monitor for your editing and such, as you won't be gaming on both, so is added cost for no benefit.

if your not into first person shooters (and not by your list) then the 144 monitors are a waste of money. A standard 60 hz will do you fine as I cant see that rig going under 60 fps any time soon. 2*23 or 24" IPS monitors will do you well for rts gaming.

The mega mat is pointless as well as you get one free in the intel bundle :)

Get a Creative Sound Blaster Z easily better than the old tech audigy fx card.
