Hi all
I am new to computer building and setup any help would be great. As this is a lot of money and have to last for the foreseeable future.
I am looking for a computer to play star citizen and other games on very high setting. I would also like to start steaming on twitch and recording some game play to put on YouTube. So the computer got to be up to video editing. Don't need to be the best computer in the world at it, but just up to the job. The great game play is the main thing I want. The screen it got to power is a Samsung LS29E790C 29-Inch it a ultra-wide 21:9 aspect ratio screen. The two 980 Ti should be more than up to the job and keep me over 60 FPS in most game on very high settings and even record. But that why I am here I don't know. It just want I think. If you know it want work or if you think I need more memory for video editing please feel free to let me know thank you for reading.
This is the computer I am thinking of getting:

Operating System

The case i picked because the great airflow should help to keep the GPU cool.
Corsair H100i because it more than up to the job. The fans want have to run at full speed even if the CPU working hard. so it keep the noise down.
120GB KINGSTON for operating systems the other SSD for the games. Not putting them on the same SSD so if the game SSD dies hope it don't kill my compute operating systems. But don't know if that work.
2TB 3.5" SEAGATE SSHD for more games and for the game play I record. Should give me good speed so I can record game play at HD at 30 fps for any YouTube videos I would like to make.
x2 NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 980 Ti just over kill. DirectX 12 should give me 12GB of vram from what I hear when the next lot of AAA games come out. Because I know with DirectX 11 you only have the 6GB.
Thank for taking the time to read.
