Hello! I'll be getting some money put aside for a Gaming Computer after I get out of High School, and I am going through iBuyPower to build it. I could use some suggestions as to whether this would all work out together in an efficient manner. I don't really want to spend more than it costs so far, as it's already a tiny bit of a price leap anyways (Which is fine in comparison to the performance I'm expecting)

This is what I have so far (This is horribly copied, I hope it's not too confusing!)

I realize that all of that is pretty sloppy, but I figured that those who know about building computers can probably pick that apart easily. Will this all work well together?

I should mention that this computer is going to be used for Gaming, Streaming, and Recording for YouTube.
