With your help and expertise I would like to build my first gaming pc.

Hello everyone and thank you so much in advance for the help I really appreciate it. So my question is, I'm really looking forward to building my first gaming pc. But I wont be using it just for gaming I would also like to stream to twitch. My budget is $700. I been looking online to get a better understanding on what cpu, motherboard and graphics card to get. As well as the ram and case. But they are so many is hard to see which ones would be better for me. So far the only thing that i have come across that I like is the...

Intel Core i5-4690K Devil's Canyon Quad-Core 3.5GHz LGA 1150 BX80646I54690K Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 4600

But since you guys are the experts I would like your take on it. Once again thank you for the comments and help.

What kind of games will you be playing?

Hi, do you need monitor, keyboard, mouse, windows or do you need only pc build ? If only pc build, here you go: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/LYypP6
- 6 cores is bit better for recording / streaming than quad core
- you can easy overclock this cpu
- for gpu the r9 380 is fine, you can go with gtx 960 if you prefer nVidia, if you can add 50 dollars more then take r9 390, it's BEAST

You can expect maxed games with +/- 60 fps, for more intensive like Witcher 3 you can get 30-40 on ultra, while hairworks option is turned off

First of all i want to apologize for taking sometime to reply and thank you for commenting on my post. Well I would be playing some indie games either from steam or origin. Mostly i would be streaming from console but when theres those gems that you can only play on pc, well I wont have to sweat buckets thinking that my pc wont be able to handle it. I might do some light video editing but like I said mostly streaming. Hope my answer helps some how. Once again thank you for your reply.

Dude! thank you for your reply and as i told the other person before you so sorry for taking so long to reply, i been working a lot to be able to build this pc as soon as possible. So thank you first of all. I dont need a keyboard or mouse, monitor I had one for a while its an asus my friend let my have so those are the least of my worries. I found a site where students get really cheap os, so im good in that behalf. I really like the list you put together, definitely would go over it and see what my options are, specially since I'm like a kid in a candy store where everything i see seems really good so i wanna see if anyone else replies. i wanna make the right decisions so i hope you understand that in no reason whatsoever do i think your list is not right for me i just want to see if anyone else presents a different option and that way i can put yours and someone else list and come to a conclusion. So thank you again.

Excellent build by Wetys, can't fault it and to be honest that's pretty much what I would have given you xD.

Thank you so much for your help. I really appreciate it. I been reading reviews on the parts that he mention and seems like the only things that have lower scores are the power supply and the graphics card. I would be begin buying the parts in two weeks so wish me all the best.
