Hey everyone I plan on livestreaming the game overwatch with this new build I made on pcpart picker. (obviously other games but mainly overwatch)

Here is the link: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jF3WKZ

I just want a confirmation that this will be sufficient for livestreaming overwatch 720p while playing the game in 1080p mode with easily over 144fps (for my 144hz monitor). Please note I will want to be streaming the game in 720p60fps while playing the game in 1080p144fps+ if that makes sense.

If there are any switches you would recommend or other parts, please let me know. I plan on ordering this build soon. Thank you!

You can do that and also save money on the motherboard as you no longer need a z270 to overclock.
as far as microcenter GPU prices there are pretty much the same as online + tax.

If you dont want to mess with it at all you could just grab http://www.microcenter.com/product/467635/G313_Desktop_Computer if you find open box one theil sell it for 899.99

CHanged some stuff around
I would probably also change the HDD to 1TB and put a 250GB ssd in there although it would cost a bit more.

Actually streaming 720p i think you can go for 7600k and it would let you get a gtx 1070 and ssd.

If you live near microcenter would be even cheaper

Ah I forgot to mention! I also have a samsung 120gb SSD from my older build that I intend on using aswell. Samsung 840 evo i think is the name of it.
 


I just noticed that the i7 7700 is much cheaper than the K series, I never intend on overlocking my cpu. Should I just get the 7700 to save that 150?

Also can you link the microcenter 1070, I live near a microcenter actually.
