I have come up with a parts list for my First Gaming PC! I was wondering if it would be able to get Ultra at 60fps on Battlefield, H1Z1, Dayz, and other games. Also will this computer be fine if I stream with it? Will this computer be able to get ultra or very high at 60 fps when I'm streaming? http://

The case seems to be missing.

Think of the zeon as an i7 which cannot be overclocked and has no integrated gpu (which doesn't matter in this case since you are getting a 970)
Since the zeon can't be OC'ed the cpu cooler is skipped.
Cheaper RAM is added.
A cheaper but good quality mobo is added.
The mediocre ssd is removed and a 250gb 850 evo is put.
The hdd is removed but you can add one later.
The cwap psu is replaced with a lot better one.
A cheaper optical disk is added.

I went with the zeon because it has hyper-threading which will help a LOT in streaming and editing (it is basically a locked i7 like I said earlier).
Also what will you do about the case?

Hope this helped!

I would recommend this it will get you 80 fps on ultra in lots of games and definitely not lower than 60fps while streaming, this costs more but you will also benefit from 16gb of ram as it will keep your frames while streaming also you don't need an i7 to be honest but I guess it would help as they are alot better for multi tasking. Here is the build I made you good luck!!! http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/vD7jCJ

For streaming It's useful to have the power of hyper threading.

4x4 is useless for Z97 motherboards. They will still work like dual channel 2x8.

Only X99 truly supports quad channel RAM.
