So I having been into games for a while now. The thing is that i have been using a laptop (its decent but not The best) and have finally decided that with the holidays coming up i would build a desktop. My budget is $700. I would be playing games like Dragon Age: Inquisition and Far Cry4. I will also be streaming game-play via twitch and most likely getting into the YouTube world so i will need to be able to run editing software as well as audio recording and a face cam. I've never done this so i need all the help i can get. i plan on upgrading later on when i have the cash. Let me what you guys think. Thanks

Blew the budget a bit, this ones more of a $738 build. But you get an i5 4440, Sapphire Tri-X 290, G.Skill 2133 MHz, CAS 9 RAM, and a H97 Motherboard, which supports up to 5th Gen 'Core' processors. And a Semi modular PSU.
