Hello interwebs!
So, I was going to buy a pre-built rig from someone but decided to build one myself, and would like some input.

Looking for a system that is able to game (1080 minimum), stream (1080 minimum) and edit.

I'm trying to keep it around an $800 budget.
No HD or peripherals needed.

Thank you in advance for your all mighty wisdom.

If you can go a bit over $800 I'd snag this.

Looks good!
Would the 6 cores be that much of a difference compared to the 8 core 2700?
 
For 1080P streaming the 6C/12T should be enough but if you don't think it will be then you can change out the GPU for the 1060 6gb or RX 580 4/8gb then use the savings for the 2700(X).

What are you using for streaming? OBS typically requires a beefier CPU however if your using ShadowPlay then the 2060 would be perfect for 1080P.
