Uh! Hello! I'm Bazooka101, or you can also call me Tanner. As of now, I'm currently saving up some money to build a computer during the summer before I go to college. I think I've got a fairly decent build... but I'm not entirely sure if I'm missing anything or if I could get anything better.

Preferably, I want to say within the $1,600-$1,700 range but still get a decent enough build to help me not only game, but livestream and eventually edit/render YouTube videos fairly quickly. I am pretty certain I am sticking to the GPU choice and possibly switching to the Haswell refresh once it is released.

Here is my build as of now:

Case: Corsair Carbide Series 500R - ATX Mid Tower Gaming Case

Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-Z87X-D3H

Processor/CPU: Intel Core i7-4770K Haswell 3.5GHz

Power Supply/PSU: CORSAIR HX Series HX850 850W
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

Memory: Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600

Cooling: Noctua NH-D14 120mm & 140mm SSO CPU Cooler

If you could help me out, it'd be awesome!

Few things you can change, I did it for you...
Add an SSD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
Change the CPU for a Xeon: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
That's it really, if you plan to Overclock then you'd need a better Motherboard for the Xeon.
