I'm looking to build my first pc for streaming under $1500-$2000 if needed. It will mostly be used for streaming my ps4 games to twitch with an overlay and webcam. I want it to be able to handle that with ease also I would like to be able to play pc games on it but that isn't my first priority for this pc. I am ready have a keyboard mouse and monitor so I need everything else. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated looking forward to see what you can come up with

If you want to go close to your ceiling, this has more CPU power, but still great in GPU too:

Wow nice build above. Consider a Samsung SSD, everyone complains when I recommend crucial and they all love Samsung. I'm not a Samsung fan for anything and like Crucial SSDs. They've been rock solid reliable.

As for the video card it's a nice choice but I'm not an MSI fan myself. But that 980Ti is a beast. Could even be overkill lol.

That power supply is an XFX. It's based on a Seasonic board but the seasonic version would normally be a bit more expensive. I think Seasonics are considered the best quality power supply in the consumer PC market.

NZXT is a personal preference. I've heard of quality issues with NZXT but overall they're one of the best. Consider Antec, Corsair, and Zalman. Those are nice and not too pricey either.

And 1TB for the hard drive may not be enough for you. Only you can determine how much space you need.

Just over $1500 Canadian without memory. I used Newegg Canada. Add 8GB or 16GB of DDR4....PC parts picker didn't list DDR4 RAM. 8GB of HyperX Kingston DDR4 is $65.

With taxes your under $2000.

I choose an I5 k series so you can overclock. The I7 is just so expensive. You can step it up a notch in the video card department if you want to do 4k. But anything below 4k the 970 is fine.

I picked a popular mid tower case but it's personal preference. And that power supply has enough power and is very high quality for the price. Again you can step it up a notch if desired or go even higher power if you ever think you'll add a second video card.
