That might be able to do it... maybe, I dunno if the graphics card is powerful enough, but it should be able to stream well with the i7.

A 750 is kinda meh now, for wanting to also stream anyways.

if you're willing to build your own system, your budget and game quality demands are easy to meet, but if you have to buy pre-built it'll be hard (they're charging you like 400+ to build that system for you.)

also... they're screwing you over, they're giving you an unlocked processor but not a motherboard that allows you to overclock.

Hey,

this whole build is all over the place. Not sure what were they trying to achieve.

They slapped in a nice CPU and even decided to water cool it but gave it a weird GPU and on top of that a 1366x768 monitor??

It might sound a bit exaggerated but this system to me sounds like putting a dragster engine into a 1961 Mini Cooper body...

If I were you I would go for GTX 770 and at least 1920x1080 monitor. But it will require changing the PSU to maybe a 600W one and getting a bigger case. But that's personal opinion. I guess for 1366x768 the GTX 750 will be fine.
