Probably around 2k, but hopefully not over 3k. I plan on getting a new set of monitors too, I may just get one big 4k panel.

Eh, don't just stick with one monitor. I'd go ahead and get three/four and do that kind of setup; with a smaller one on top for streaming.

I really don't do much if any multi-tasking, I already have three monitors, and yet, I only use one haha.

I'm more focused on gaming more than anything, I'm not really interested in content producing.

Are you sure this is worth the money?

I don't think going from a decent i5to a decent i5 is thatgreat. I don't see any benefit for the money there.
You should wait until Pascal is released, they are said to be up to 40% (some say 10x)quicker than Maxwell (980 Ti). It's expected to release mid year.
32GB of RAM for gaming is not necessary, but I guesssome people just "want it" for aesthetics.
M.2 NVMeSSDsareballs to the walls fantastic, grab yourself a 950 Pro.
Only get the Kraken X61 if you're getting an i7 or intend tofull blowrapeyour i5 with overclocking.


If I were you, I would actually only upgrade the GPUs. Your existing build is still very capable.If you really wanted M.2, grab yourself a PCI-E card.
