Hey guys, ive done a lot of research and asked a lot of people about my first PC build. I'm really anxious about getting the right parts for what i want. I'm planning to order it tomorrow and want to make sure this final build ive composed is all compatible and right for what im looking for. With this build im planning to record games at high FPS and max settings or almost max; and edit the footage and post them on YouTube. Also, im looking to live stream games like League of Legends. I'm on a budget of around $850 including the monitor and a keyboard. This is what i came up with! Please tell me what you think considering this is my first build! Thanks!
