So, I've been doing some research and I've looked on a few threads from here, but they're are all relatively old, so I figured I'd try andget new answers.

I plan on playing and streaming games such as modded Minecraft, LoL, and streaming my Xbox one games through my PC, unless I find a better not so expensive alternative.

Also, I would prefer an ATX mobo with room for upgrading as I plan to as I accumulate more money. I don't need the keyboard or mouse. Maybe some streaming equipment if any streaming experts can help me out there.

Not sure about the Intel vs. AMD, but whichever will be better and cheaper in the long run is better for me.

If you have any questions or need clarification, just ask. I have a previous build that I set up and ended up having to spend my money on something else so I couldn't get it. I'll post that as well. I made this a few months ago, so the prices have likely all changed, but whatever. \

Thanks in advance!

CD drive isnt necessary either, but I have one picked out for $20 on Newegg.

And this case temporarily unless you have a better idea that looks similar: APEVIA X-TROOPER Series X-TRP-GN Black/Green Steel ATX Mid Tower -- Newegg: $75

I also need the OS. Which is an extra like 120$, not sure what OS I want yet, also up for suggestions.

Also, some kind of cooling system is probably a good idea, just lemme know what you think regarding this matter.

-you picked a very poor quality power supply for a high power gaming system
-the r9 290 is pretty much out of date and fairly overpriced at this point
-the fx series processor you chose is a little bit on the low end side. you want at least an fx-8320 minimum, but preferably an intel i5 4th gen or higher.
-the 990fx platform is getting to be pretty out of date at this point unless you are on a budget lower than this.
