It used to be worth a 290
It's ok at least you didn't drop $1000 on doge like me.
at least you didn't actually make money on it and then lose it all in mt.gox pwnage
You lost btc in mt gox? Poor soul.
Righto boy's i'm cashed up, and i'm living the dream so it's time for a sick new puter.
I'm looking at the 4790k for a CPU however the brand new 5series has just came out, is it worth the wait? i wanna have something awesome up and running by christmas.
I'm also looking at doing an SLI setup by getting a second gigabyte 670, so i'd need a good motherboard and a good amount of ram to go with it. and i'm gunna go for 3 screen gaming
I stream from time to time as well, so would that have a big effect on waiting or not?

I'd go ahead and get a 5 series processor for quad channel support. DDR4 is still at the beginnings of the speeds it can reach, but you can find some motherboards that support DDR4-3000 and CAS at that speed is starting to drop. If you're wanting to stream seriously, go nuts and get an Extreme Edition for those extra two cores.
Have had zero issues streaming even the most intensive games using OBS with my Hexacore. Don't think the Octacore Extreme Edition is worth the money personally. And this is coming from someone that bought two TITANs.
If you have the disposable income, definitely get the 5 series setup for DDR4 but I'd stay Hexacore because of previous comment unless you are 100% sure that something you use your PC for could utilize 8 cores/16 threads that much more than a 6/12 setup.

Are those 2GB GTX 670s you plan to run? If so, you're going to run out of vram constantly when you run 3x screens [source: have 2GB GTX 670 in SLI ]
Replace that gpu with GTX 970 SLI or AMD 290 crossfire. The 290s are actually a really good deal with the price drops going under $250 each on sales.
Heres a link to 2 different system builds i'm looking at
4790k Build
5930k build
I already have one 4gb 760, so thats the main reason i was looking at another, because for bugger all i can get pretty good performance
Sure SLI will give you good performance, but it is only as fast as one 970 with an overclock. Just keep that in mind because SLI doesn't always work with new games at launch, or outright unsupported. ┐(ﾟ∀ﾟ)┌
so looking at that theres no major issues you guys can see for my setup?
