Looking to build a PC to stream gameplay from my PS4 please help im also a first time builder so any tips would be good as well!
Please try to include SSD and Operating System.
 


You won't need that powerful PC.
But if you really want, I'll recommend you just buy a workstation with E5 CPU, Quadro VGA, and ECC RAM, SAS HDD, you choose what you like.
 


You do not need those kinds of parts, to stream PS4 gameplay. I built a rig, for a friend using an elgato capture device, last year using a 1231v3. Gave him a GTX 970, but only because he intended to game on it too.
