I want a desktop for live streaming with the possibility of gaming. My budget is $1250 and I have a few components that I would prefer but would be open to change. I'd prefer the i7-4770 and fractal design define R4.

CPU- Intel Core i7-4770 3.4GHz Quad-Core $294.99
CPU Cooler- Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing $29.98
Motherboard- Gigabyte GA-H87-D3H ATX LGA1150 $99.99
Memory-
Video Card-
Storage- Samsung 840 EVO 120GB 2.5" SSD $99.92
Seagate Barracuda 3TB 3.5" 7200RPM $104.99
Case- Fractal Design Define R4 w/Window (Black Pearl) ATX Mid Tower $99.99
Power Supply- SeaSonic 550W ATX12V / EPS12V $85.99
Optical Drive- Lite-On iHAS124-04 DVD/CD Writer $14.99
Operating System- Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (OEM) (64-bit) $88.98

Is this a decent build? What will make it better? Also I want 16gb of ram, and a decent graphics card but I don't know what to get? And Where would be a good place to buy this (U.S.)?

Here's a build close to your budget. For what you want out of this build, streaming, gaming, SSD, 3TB HDD etc, only thing to make it better would be to up your budget. If all you wanted to do was game $1250 will buy a beast and all quality parts. When you throw in multi tasking, streaming and all the other stuff then we start to cut corners.

I would definitely put more money into your HDD at least, the barracuda series has one of the highest failure rates.

Thank you for your response, I do not plan on gaming and live streaming at the same time on the this machine. I don't think I need a Video card that good. Also, what would be a recommended HDD instead of the barracuda?
