Hey guys, I'd like to build a new PC for myself from scratch, with a budget of £650 and mid-high level gaming in mind. I would also like to stream, however, I don't have much interest in running brand new and graphically demanding games on max settings, the only games I'd really like to stream are WoW (classic not Mists of Pandaria, so older graphics) and Quake Live.
The only trouble is, in order to stream Quake (not so important for WoW), I need to have a constant 250 fps or it will effect my performance if I plan to stream tournaments. I'm not sure if streaming is heavier on the CPU or GPU.
Here are the parts I had in mind (bear in mind this is my first ever custom pc ><) what I'm mostly concerned about is how cheap the Motherboard is...

The reason I've picked 2 GPUs to run as a crossfire is that I figured it would stream much more smoothly, but that's just a guess.
And just as an example, this is a small 10 minute clip of a Quake streamer so you can see how low down the graphics can be turned, and is my desired quality for the stream (stream doesnt need to be 250 fps, it can be 30fps, but the game must be 250
)

So in short... Are the parts I've chosen sufficient for High quality streaming of medium ranged games?
Thanks for reading! I appreciate any advice!
