Hello
I always build my computers and normaly only upgrade once the computer stops doing what i want it to so i am not a person that upgrades every 3months.
I have been pricing up a new computer and I felt I was going overboard with the speed and system specs of what I think I am looking for so I wanted advice on the computer parts I should get if the ones I wanted were overkill.
My main goals
* Play starcraft2 on full settings and it must not computer lag at any point, even 4 player maps full battles.
* Not to go super slow when i am streaming myself playing starcraft2 or fraping wow right now i can't stream and I always have to play starcraft2 at low settings.
* To be able to play new games also at top settings but my main goals are the above ones. [If its not sc2 or wow] then i play a lot of FPS, fear3/ deadisland/ any new cods etc etc
My money/old parts
*Money is not a big issue since i will earn whatever I need to make it work but at the same time I dont want to spend £1000 more for a pc then i have to etc
*I plan on using my prolite e2407hds iiyama computer screen, its about a year old and I feel unless my computer screen will stop my dreams then i will use it. ADDED NOTE i just found it on the website

so ya if that suxs and is going to stop what i want we can replace it.
*I have 2 x 1TB sata drives which again i can use as backup if their is a really fast boating option.
and lastly
What parts I must have
*I am moving from AMD for the last 15years to intel I just feel its better now.
*I want to have nivida over ati
*I see the SSD harddrives and think maybe its worth getting one for my goals?
*case is Corsair Obsidian 800D or Corsair Obsidian 650D

MB Asus Rampage III Extreme Intel X58 (Socket 1366) DDR3 Motherboard 284.99
case Corsair Obsidian 800D (6GB/s) Full Tower Case - Black 229.99
chip Intel Core i7 980 3.33GHz (Gulftown) (Socket LGA1366) - Retail 449.99
mem Corsair Dominator GT 12GB (3x4GB) DDR3 PC3-16000C9 2000MHz Triple Channel Kit with DHX Airflow Fan (CMT12GX3M3A2000C9) 259.99
card Asus GeForce GTX 580 Matrix Platinum 1536MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card 399.98
bit more normal
mb Asus Rampage III Gene Intel X58 (Socket 1366) DDR3 microATX Motherboard 191.99
case Corsair Obsidian 650D Gaming Midi Tower - Black 124.99
chip Intel Core i7 960 3.20Ghz (Nehalem) (Socket LGA1366) - Retail 235.99

card OcUK GeForce GTX 570 1280MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card 249.98
So as you can see i stoped after I started to think maybe i am buying stuff i really dont need or wont ever use for a long time. so if someone could either finish any of them builds if they are on the right line or could give me a list of everything inc fan/powersupply etc I would be greatful.
I know streaming also comes down to my internet but it doesnt help when i press stream my computer goes so laggy even on low settings in starcraft2
