AMD-FX 8350 PC Build

[Zent]

This pc is specifically for livestreaming (console streaming) and I want to use an AMD Processor because from what I've heard, it's better for streaming, it's cheap price is up and close to what an i7 would give you (I've heard i7 is overpriced).

-Need OS
-No Monitor
-$1k Budget
-Case doesn't have to be amazing

You're right when it comes to the FX-8350, very good at streaming games.

Windows 7 because 8 sucks, dual PCI x16 slots so SLI is a possibility in the future, 650w PSU also for future SLI, Asus 760 DCUII, cools well, overclocks well and is quite.
