Hey guys,

I have been very interested in building my own pc for the sole use of twitch streaming live games. I do not plan to overclock any time soon, but would like to build somewhat of a future proofed PC if i decide to do so later on. I have done a lot of reading and I've put together the following:

Intel Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler
Asus Z170-A ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
Kingston HyperX Fury Black 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2133 Memory
Samsung 850 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
MSI GeForce GTX 970 4GB Twin Frozr V Video Card
Corsair 200R ATX Mid Tower Case
EVGA SuperNOVA NEX 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply

Here is the link : http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/xmVTXL

First, does this all make sense? Should I change anything? Will this serve it's purpose? How difficult of a build will this be?

I would appreciate any and all feedback you guys can give me

Thanks so much guys!

I recently bought a fairly similiar system to what's you're planning to buy.

Great system overall, but my two-cents will be replacing the GTX 970 with a R9 390. same price, a little better and has 8GB of VRAM which could make it future-proof. I own a MSI R9 390 and it works pretty good.

All looks pretty good. Very balanced system. Should serve its purpose just fine. The only thing about Twitch streaming is a steady upload speed. Then again, I can stream steadily when I rarely do at 720p and a high bitrate while only having 150KB/s up. Any connection higher than that, which wouldn't be hard to do since my connection is just slow as hell due to our ISP wanting to charge us insane rates for anything more, you'll be fine streaming 1080 pretty much. Building isn't as difficult as most people think it is. It's pretty straight forward. Just follow all the instructions for your motherboard for connections and that's really the most complicated thing. Look up videos on YouTube on building if you think you need more guidance. That's pretty much where I learned everything.

My only real concern is the PSU. That G1 unit is not very good. Swap it for the GQ 650w. It is a better unit. I would go with faster DDR4 2400, for less. Also the deepcool Gammaxx 400 is a bit cheaper, and a bit better, than the CM 212.

You could use the savings, for a 2tb drive, vs that 1 tb, if you wanted.
