Hi,
I have a (hopefully) quick question. I have never build a PC but do have an understanding of computers and their parts and how to put one together especially with all the videos these days.
However I limit myself to a budget of $900 including the operating system.
I have a monitor already I only need a desktop.
I need the PC to do college homework, play games like DayZ, Dead Realm etc. but no big titles like Bf4, GTA. I only play those games on my PS4.
I do want to stream on twitch in good quality meaning 720p with 30-60fps. But again only games like DayZ.
Now I'm not sure what to get that would actually meet my requirements as far as streaming and gaming goes. I found two options with a similar price point but I'm not sure what is better. And that's why I need your help.
Option 1 (self build)
I found the following combo and was wondering if this is good or not?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.2406037
Question here is would the fan that comes with the Intel i5 CPU be enough or do I have to get another one? And I would need to get a DVD R drive plus Windows 7 (my preferred operating system) which will end up at around $900 all together.
Option 2 would be to order the following PC from CyberPowerPc:

BUT I would get a cheaper case but probably upgrade my Graphics Card to a AMD Radeaon R9 280 3Gb and add a 128Gb SSD. And I would have to get Windows 10 which I heard isn't the greatest for gaming yet.
Hope you can help me out here. Thanks in advance!
