Budget: $850 with Operating System I need an HDD And an SSD. SSD Can be small I just need it to hold OS and programs so they boots up faster.
Gonna use this to Stream on Twitch, Record for Youtube, and Render Videos For Youtube.
Gonna be playing Dayz, Minecraft, Rust, Arma III, Call Of Duty, BF4, Gary's mod, Left 4 Dead 2, and a few other steam games.
Needs to be able to play these games and stream/record at same time without lagging.

I wouldn't get an SSD at this price point personally. I'd want a minimum 4690k and gtx770/R9 280X before I added an SSD. I'd rather have higher FPS over boot times and for $850 I don't think I'd try and get both.

They are nice to have for sure. Windows boots up insanely fast, and load screens for games too.
But if we are talking about being on a tight budget, SSDs don't make sense. They are a luxury item. They don't do anything for frames per second, and that is the most important thing for a smooth gaming experience.

you could add one later and spend the money on a better CPU and GPU, though.

Low quality PSU, and AMD CPUs are impossible to justify buying right now.
Here's what I recommend, if you'd like me to take the price down let me know and I'll pick a slightly cheaper motherboard.

This is my first time building and most of the people I know say AMD is better for this budget. they said if my budget was $1,200+ i could go i7 but if im not going i7 I should go AMD. I changed PSU but isnt it easy to use a modular one?
