A decent setup for the money, but not a beast. What will you mainly use the computer for?

 

[kampie2017]

For gaming/streaming and video editing, budget $1200 usd and wanna go with a black and red theme

I'm not trying to go through the roof with a $3000 setup lol just trying to get the best I can now and then later on upgrade

Well, not saying you can do much better with your budget but I wouldn't call it a beast. A very decent build for your usage yes, but not a beast.
Just consider that the mini GPU you card you selected, those mini cards tends to be loud because of a small cooling solution.

You could save up a bit more and then go with I7-8700K as that is quite a bit better performance than the Ryzen 1600. However that also comes quite a bit more expensive.

 

[kampie2017]

Would a MSI GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6GB GAMING X Video Card be better? Or the one I have?

 

[Kasper Jorgensen]

In terms of performance, obviously the GTX 1070 will be better than a GTX 1060. But the Zotac mini card will, like any other mini cards, be noisy due to a smaller cooling solution with only 1 fan that has to spin with higher RPM to give same airflow as those full sized cards with 3 fans.

 

[kampie2017]

Is there a big difference in performance?

And couldn't I just get fans to increase airflow?

Well, yes there is. But if it's just for 1080p 60Hz gaming the GTX 1060 will be enough, the 1070 will however have better longevity though.

..And no, it doesn't work like that. You cannot just add more case fans to keep the GPU fans more quite. It could help a bit obviously but not enough to make the card silent.

Well what would you recommend for a gpu that goes with the build that I'm looking for? Or if you have any other recommendations

If you can find $40-50 more in your budget then go with something like this

Or simply save money by selecting a GTX 1060 and use those money towards I5-8700K instead.

The Ryzen 5 1600 couldn't game/ stream and video edit with a good Msi GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6GB GAMING X Video Card?

Sure it can, just suggesting better performance for you.

 

[kampie2017]

the gtx 1060 is cheaper too, I just wanna be able to run games at 1080p, still can stream and video edit, kinda how youtubers do it

Sounds like you already decided. You will be fine with that so just get it.
