Hello!

So here is where I'm starting at in terms of a price and part ideas: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WRPpkT. I plan to make all computer purchases at the end of the month. I've never built a computer myself, and I'm a streamer so I'd like to get some good overclocking in.

Is anyone that is familiar with some or all of the parts I have listed have any recommendations on pieces fitting together hardware wise and overclocking wise? All (constructive) opinions welcomed. And yes, I'm a stereotypical girl that loves her RBG.

That's not a bad build. It should be perfect for 1440p/4K gaming at 60hz or more, depending on the monitor. I would have probably went with a 1800x. You want the best possible chip to encode and game at the same time. Also, overclocking isn't something that is a one click and done. It takes time. It could take hours, days, or even weeks. You want to be as stabled as possible. It is truly trial and error. I would use this guide as a reference for overclocking.
