AMD Build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/wRXgrH
Intel Build - Post Below

Budget: $1100 with Operating System, SSD, and all prices set for newegg.

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.

The PSU you chose is not enough for your build. AMD tends to eat more power and will need at least 600W for the whole build.
