[ajayman22]

Hey, Im looking for profession input on my first gaming & streaming (twitch) computer build. my budget is roughly 1000$.

Ram: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231428
SSD: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211853
Motherboard: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128727

Any suggestions on other parts that may preform better with a SLIGHTLY larger or lower budget? I think i will get the tower, motherboard and cooler somewhere else as neweggs thinks its okay to charge me an additional 45$ shipping fee on those 3 specific items lol. I should also explain that my main game I play is WoW but I will be playing other games as well.Thanks for your help in advance!

yea i think you could do alot better at that budget. also, do you need the OS and dvd drive or is that not being factored in to the $1000

Change the CPU out for a Xeon 1230v3 or 1231v3. For streaming, you want an i7 class CPU.

better and cheaper on both the ssd and the memory. the motherboard is full atx and has more features, and the gpu is upgraded. you could also substitute out the 4690k for a xeon 1231v3 which has more threads and better for streaming, but also $30 extra and has locked multiplier meaning you wont be able to squeeze the extra 10fps that you'll likely see from overclocking the i5. of course, the gtx 970 will likely provide more than enough so it shouldnt be much of a concern. depends on where your focus is

another concern i have is the ssd being the one means of storage. you're going to fill that 256GB faster than you might think. you'll want a hard drive to store things like media and bigger applications that don't require the extra speed
