Hello, I my self do not know nearly anything about computers. I've recently been able to save up 800-1000 dollars to build a PC for my gaming needs. I really only play 2 games those being CS:GO and WoW (World of Warcraft) I would like to be able to STREAM these games on rather high settings if possible in my budget. I have a HD, and a monitor already so I'd just want the GPU, CPU, SSD, RAM, Power Supply, a Case, and a Motherboard. As I said I have no idea where to start or what items are good. Any help would be appreciated very much. I will be purchasing everything from newegg with in the next 2 weeks and I rather stay towards the 800 dollar side if possible. Thank you to anyone who takes the time to read this. Have a wonderful day!
-Jon

Since you're going to be streaming and playing, I recommend the FX-8320 over the i5-4430.

Everything from Newegg. Would definitely stick with Intel on the CPU for MMO gaming + streaming. The Xeon is an i7 at i5 price, so you get the hyperthreading. This will allow you to max the settings and stream as well in both games :)

Hey i was wondering if a cpu cooler is really needed instead of just the stock one it comes with. I will not be doing any overclocking because I know nothing about it. THanks!
