Hi I'm new to building PC and honestly don't know much about it. I asked for help and someone made me a guide I just wanted to get more opinions on this build be fore I actually do it. http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Freeagle/saved/PQnV3C what I'm looking for out of it is, be able to play games like BF4 at high quality, make videos for youtube, and also be able to stream games. All opinions welcome and are greatly appreciated thanks guys, and remember I'm a noob :p

If you want to stream games and post to YouTube, definitely go with a NVIDIA card. ShadowPlay is master race, plus it's free.
i5 should work fine, cheaper version of i7s
CPU cooler would be better as a Cooler Master 212 Hyper Evo, cheaper but works just as well
You...

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/vNCzD3 I have changed a couple of parts as you can see but what I suggest you do is either up your budget a bit and get a better graphics card or swap your cpu out for a cheaper and less powerful one and get a more expensive and more powerful graphics card as this isn't the most balanced system for gaming however would still perform well on battlefield 4 I have a 7970 and your gpu slightly out performs mine and I run bf 4 at ultra 60 fps!

You might need a bigger PSU, don't know the exact voltages on those parts

yeah you could go air cooler acutally, you wouldn't see too much difference I just prefer water, my 4690k runs at around 40-50 full load! and yeah better PSU and yeah that is a good point about the nvidia card actually!!!!

Thanks. Water Cooling is more expensive but it looks cooler. It can also bust, so with my OCD I couldn't handle it.
