Hello, I've decided to make my own build for streaming, recording and playing all kind of games. There is stuff I still don't know, so I would wish to ask two questions:

If I should input/replace/delete something

And because in this I am complete begineer,

What for liquid cooling, what exact parts (if you can even refer by link)
It can be just for processor, custom cooling for Graphic Card and Processor.
Thanks!

There is the build:

Don't get that expensive M.2 drive get a SATA SSD the small one for the OS and programs and a bigger one to load all your games on. I would also pass on the MSI motherboard. The GTX 1080 could be overkill depending on your monitor resolution and refresh rate.

Everything seems perfect. Streaming (from my experience) relies more on your internet speed than your parts, but from your list you should have no problems with streaming if you have decent internet. Depending on how much you want to record, 2TB may seem a lot but sometimes, depending on your frequency of how much you record, can fill up pretty quickly. Maybe bump up to 3TB as you'' also have games that you can't fit on your SSD on there, but if you play to record, for example, once a week then you should be fine with 2TB.
If your going for AIO's then the Corsair H100i or the Kraken X62 should be good for CPU oc'ing or general cooling.
 


I am aware of this all, and my internet speed is 100Mbps, will upgrade soon to one 1Gbps, so I see no problem with it. Storage will be probably enough, even now I had no problem with streaming with 1Gb HDD.

Thanks for your answer!
 


Streaming is not really recording to the hard drive.
 


yeh I know, I was talking about when he would want to record
