My budget is about $1000 for my entire setup and this is what I have so far. Correct me if I'm wron but this pc can handle 3 monitors, streaming with OBS, minecraft at max settings, modded Skyrim, and then games such as LOL and CS:GO. I want to run those at decent settings while streaming, will this build do that?

Keep in mind this is a entire setup so if you make your own build that's better than this one i still need OS, Keyboard, mouse, and monitor. Thanks for your help and also if possible give an estimate of the fres these games will run(just curious)

dont buy the B1 EVGA move up to B2 they are made by superflower and is of higher quality will tire 1 lol

other than that the build is fine IMO

if u can stretch it a bit i would go for an R9 290X it should be in your budget for 260 USD give or take 10$

if u cant than u should move to the R9 280X vapor-x tri-x it is only 10~ usd more it is on a promo and it is quite as a mouse u could basically turn the other 2 fans off and run the single fan @ 25% and the card wont get hot lol

also the cryorig H7 is a better alternative to the 212 EVO ( and it looks BAD ASS)

Made it a little better.
A cheaper(but slightly better) mobo.
Cheaper RAM.
A 280x with the best cooling.
A good enough case.
Changed out the monitor(you can change it if you don't like it).
Put in a TON better psu.

Hope this helped!
