PC build - for gaming and streaming

[Ray1010]

I've been thinking about this for a while now, but still not sure.

I own a Macbook pro, I only play like Dota 2 on it and it's really annoying without a PC set but I manage somehow.

Anyhow, my primary device for gaming is my ps4, but I love PC's games and thinking about selling the Macbook and going for a PC build. My budget would be around $1k. Still, not sure if that can give me a pretty decent PC for gaming and some design/programming work, and streaming sometimes. 1070

I'll probably be playing Battlefield 1, Overwatch, Dota 2, Fifa 17, and Mafia III.

This would be the first PC I ever build so I'm not really sure what this budget offer for PC's performance,

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Being the first PC I also included Monitor Keyboard and mouse.

Very strong build. Both performance and quality wise.

The above build is great if you don't need an OS, basically the maximum performance you can get for the money. The most demanding game you're looking at there though is BF1 @ 1080P so the GTX 1070 is way more performance than you need. Great if you're thinking of playing more demanding games in future, if not then something like this would still give a 50-60FPS minimum in all of those games at ultra and 1080P.

(I'm not saying this build is better than the above, it is just the minimum you need to spend for ultra/1080P@60FPS on those games)

This is a decent build if you play at 1080p and it includes windows 10 and you can overclock
