Hey guys, thank you for looking at this post. I'm currently setting up a part list for my 500 dollar youtuber build. The build is going to allow me to record my games and livestream, hence the name. I would appreciate your opinions on the part list.
CPU: AMD FX 8370e
MOBO: Asus M5A97 Le R2.0
RAM: 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 7970 (I'm getting it from a trusted seller for only $120 :O)
Case: Thermaltake Versa H22 Window ATX Mid-Tower
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1 TB 7200 RPM 3.5"
PSU: Corsair CX 600W PSU
OD: LG GH24NSCOB
OS: Windows 8 (Upgrading to Windows 10)
Total: $568
What do you guys think about this build for the price?

I don't like that motherboard because the mosfets aren't heatsinked, so you can't overclock it much if any. Also I'm not a fan of Corsair psu's, but if you're not overclocking it won't be a problem. All in all it is a good price for that system, however I would never buy used components since you never know what has been done to them, especially videocards. (for about $50 more you can buy a new R9 280 which is the rebranded equivalent of a HD 7970).

I'm probably not going to OC for a good while. Also, I have seen the seller use the card on his livestreams and has shown me the appearance of it via video call. Thank you for your feedback.
