I might be alone on this, but I'm not big on putting an amd in anything over 800 dollars...let alone 1200.

It'll destroy minecraft, I wouldn't worry about that. For Arma and DayZ though you might want to move to an i5. Both these games are very processor intensive and an i5 if going to get you better FPS. Have you purchased it already or would you like me to put an i5 build together for you?

I completely agree. AMD is for budget builds. For $1200 you can get an i5 which is nice for gaming and ok for streaming. Besides that it's a great build.

Go with an i5. You will get a better quality stream and have higher FPS while playing. Would you please post the i5 build?

This is a really nice build. The only problem I see is that recording videos takes up a lot of storage space.A 1tb will be fine at first but you should really invest in a 2tb or 4tb drive if you keep making videos.

A common myth. An i5 actually streams better than an 8350.

Same build with GTX 770, so you can do shadowplay and you wont lose that 50% FPS Drop from frame buffer capturing
