This is what I have so far: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/zBkXVn

My max amount im spending is $950.

Im using this for Playing Minecraft, dayz, arma 3, call of duty, left 4 dead 2, league of legends, and a ton of other games. Im also going to be live streaming and recording these games.

If any parts could be upgraded or if something is bad please tell me what I should change and what I should change it to. I do want to use AMD as the processor.

Everything looks decent for sure, I would have to agree with the above post the ram could be changed out for Vengeance Pro or you could look at G.Skill ram as well.
Looks like a decent build, Best of Luck!
