First, I'd like to say that I am almost a complete noob when it comes to computer specs. I know what some stuff is, but not anywhere close to everything. I want to build a computer that will last. I mostly plan to livestream with this computer, but also do a tiny bit of graphics work and possibly some video editing here and there. I don't want to play any computer games on this PC, besides maybe Minecraft. I planed on ordering a computer from CyberPowerPC, but my friend just ordered one from them for $870 and it was bare minimum. Another one of my, computer savvy friends recommended just building my own PC and so here I am. He has helped me thus far, but as I am a noob, I'd appreciate some outside opinions. Any help would be GREAT!

That will be my setup, unless advised otherwise. I know I don't have a graphics card. I chose not to get one because, like I said I won't be playing games unless I can play Minecraft with what I have and because I'm cheap lol. Plus, I can always buy one later. I also don't have a optical drive for the same reason. (Pretty sure I should be able to install Win8 on a flash drive. If not please let me know.) I plan to get a solid state drive in the future. If you see anything that I could improve on for only a few bucks or anything I can save on, please let me know.
