    If you dont want a insane upgrade, just get a r9 380. You won't be bottlenecked with a higher end card either way. You got a pretty open upgrade path.

    I gotta be honest. That's a lot of wasted money that could've gone into different things. Mostly because the 2011-3 is enthusiast grade. It doesn't out perform a consumer grade i7 in daily tasks or in gaming. It's the same with the GPU. The normal gtx 980 is too expensive for what i's worth. The 970 would've been enough since there's only a 15% difference. The AIO cooling is fine, but thermal take has a bad rep with psu's and AIO cooling. Crucial SSD's arent that great, they're cheap, but not well made. Basicly what I'm saying is that your system is useless in the sense of using it as a game/stream PC. It's a nice system, but useless. The corsair headset was kind of a miss purchase if I'm going to be honest. That headset is worse than one you can buy for 70bucks (steelseries siberia v2).

    I'm currently using:
    MSI r9 390 8gb oc edition
    corsair vengeance 1866Mhz white/black heat sinks 32gb ram ( Thought I had faulty ram, win10 had a issue. I kept the memory)
    Asus sabertooth z97 mark 1 (sabertooth fanboy. Could've gotten the same features for 100bucks less)
    Fractal design 750w psu
    i7 4790k 5ghz OC.
    Corsair h100i
    Fractal design define R5 pearl black
    Samsung evo 840 1tb (got this for free, after I already build my PC)
    Samsung evo 850 250gb
    Western digital black 1tb

    Peripherals:
    Corsair k70 cherry mx keyboard (I don't use the leds)
    Corsair saber laser edition mouse
    Beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO 250 Ohm open headset velour earbud edition
    MicroAMP HA400 (money value is insane with the quality it has)

    Monitor:
    iiyama ProLite B2783QSU-B1 1440p 75hz 1ms
