My first desktop rig

Hello Guys,

I am currently looking to get my first desktop rig that would be used for gaming and streaming. Up until this point, I've only ever used laptops and never owned my own desktop build, so I am looking for opinions on this build that I have below to see if there is anything that can be improved upon. My budget is around £2300. I am looking to get a PC that is top of the line by today's standards and also one that is easily upgradable in the future and is futureproof. One thing to note is I need to get a keyboard and monitors as well with this build, so opinions on those that I have selected would also be appreciated.

Looks pretty good. Are you overclocking? You can get away with the non 'k' version unless you can make use of the extra stock clock speed. If overclocking you need a better cooler, if not you can step down to the cheaper ones if you want. You could also consider a bigger PSU to allow for future upgrades such as SLI if you wanted to down the line.

Adding to the above I wonder if more people might now go for a Blu-ray drive over just a DVD-RW. Difference is about £35 I think.
