I am interested in building a computer around ~$600 that can run CS:GO on 1280 x 960 res (which even my laptop can). While running cs:go I will be livestreaming with OBS and I hope to get atleast 250 fps (which is pretty easily achieveable with low settings).

Which one would be the best for my needs? I do not want to overclock, I want to keep my hardware as healthy as possible and have it for as long as possible.

I am not thinking about future games (I know bf4 will use all 8 cores and such) I want to know what runs CSGO best while streaming.

I wouldn't get the M5A97 R2.0 (I have one) as it's not going to be good for overclocking. *EDIT: I've been informed they're probably the best 970 boards around for overclocking, however you don't want to go crazy with the OC. They also don't support CF / SLI.*
If you're looking to do that in future for the extra performance boost go for one of the 990 boards that will have more features and...

IMO logainofhades is right. Streaming can be done better with more cores , rather than powerful cores. The FX 8320 will be the best choice as the 500MHz difference between 8320 and 8350 is no worth 30 bucks. Here's a build which will go far more ahead of the 1280 x 960 you expect -

If you weren't streaming I would have suggested the i5 though.
Regardless, they're both going to be able to run it at extremely good FPS anyway. It's more dependent on your graphics card.

LGA 1366 and 2011 are the only platforms that support triple channel, the 2011 supports quad as well.
The memory controllers are on the CPU's today and they have to support the channels!

sadly I didnt clarify 100% I have OS and monitors and such, All I need is the tower. A 7870 + 8320 can easily fit into the budget.

If you're looking to do that in future for the extra performance boost go for one of the 990 boards that will have more features and more reliable in general.

If there's almost $100 more to play with you could potentially get a 7950 or 7970.

Almost the same build , but with a different , more powerful , efficient and reliable PSU. A much more faster and powerful SSD. Different Mobo and chassis. A better performing RAM too.
This is the best I could find for that money , Hope you like it :)

Actually, it supports crossfire, not SLI.
