i have started taking interest in the streaming industry and i wish to start streaming but i have realised that my computer at the moment will not do, and i am wondering what kind of power a computer i would need to run games as tough as arma 3 to be able to stream at a constant 30-60fps all the the time and i was piecing some parts together and this is what i have made:

Computer build: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/ThePersonInPPP/saved/PpN9TW

I am only wondering if this will be enough to stream at high frames per second as i may change some parts around before buying this rig. Any help would be appreciated on improving and maybe reducing the cost a little bit more. thanks :)

I would just change out that power supply, most of the corsair PSU's are junk these days usually ending up with bad capacitors. Also, do you have a hard drive for games and stuff, if not get a 1 tb one for like 30-40 pounds.

Erm I think this is ok, but it is a MicroATX build, not sure if you would like it or not.

No problem mate. That build will be perfect for everything you need. I would say air cooling will be more than enough, the water cooling is not really necessary.

Alright, enjoy the build! Make sure you install a new version of the OS on that 3TB drive you have.
