Your build looks good, but I would try to save a little more and get a 4690k and 16GB RAM. The rest of the build is actually really nice. I usually complain about people choosing a cheepo power supply.

The reason I recommend a faster CPU is because GTA will push it pretty hard. I had a 4690k @ 4.2ghz getting almost maxed out on 1080p with an even weaker GPU than the one you are choosing. Dont get me wrong, it will play fine, but it will be even better with a faster chip.

For the RAM, 8GB is fine but I find myself using more than 8GB regularly now that I have 16GB of RAM. It will get used.

Haha, yea took me a while had to do my research about computers and builds. So far it looks easy but I don't know if it'll make a difference from the video as I'm using a different case.

The problem for the processor is it will exceed my budget, and aren't the K processors used for overclocking.

I rarely go past 5GB of ram in my current computer. Would more ram matter if I were to record/livestream while playing. Also would I be able to livestream GTA 5 and such?

I also changed the case for the computer, http://pcpartpicker.com/user/gamer8902/saved/GzVkcf is everything still compatible like would everything fit?
