Hello, I am trying to decide on my first build. Coming from a Macbook I have absolutely nothing as far as peripherals aside from my gaming mouse.

I want to build a computer for Twitch streaming and want to be able to play most games on high settings. Will also want to be doing some light video editing of those streams for youtube, but nothing major.

Again this is my first build so I'm basically in the dark clicking buttons. Can I get some feedback on this build and what I need to change?

Am I getting more power out of the AMD/Radeon than with the intel/GeForce?

Brand new to this so I'm trying to learn as I go.

EDIT: Just noticed the systems board. I am so sorry for posting this in the wrong section. I appreciate the feedback.
