Hi, I don't have enough money right now but I want to do a bunch of research before I actually go and spend the money. I'm in Canada and I'm looking for a gaming/streaming PC. I had in mind to originally build it myself but sometimes I hear prebuilt packages are better deals (in my opinion they are but probably with crappier parts). I've researched for months the parts I'd get to build one and I'm pretty set on the i7 4790k if not now the i7 6700k but that's kinda more expensive ram and mobo so I'd prefer to stick with the less expensive & reliable i7 4790k. I'm looking to get all good quality parts if I were to build it myself. Is my best deals up here in Canada to just go on Newegg.ca? Other than that there's pc part picker. I think my options for prebuilts up here are just Newegg and Best Buy perhaps. So I guess I'm asking to either build me an i7 4790k custom build for around 1500 could be nice but if it's a little over I don't mind (good gpu's are ridic in price) or find me a prebuilt that has an i7 4790k or something close to it.

Thanks

i7 or better is what you need for streaming. You dont need more ram than you would need to play the game. 16GB should be plenty.

Not sure where you should look. Pre built computers usually have a nice markup to them, not sure why you think they will be cheaper.
