Hi guys,

First of all, thanks for taking the time to help me out here as I don't know anything about building a pc, lol. I'm looking for a good streaming pc. It needs to be able to: live stream games from my xbox one to twitch via a capture card, and perform some light editing for youtube. I can spend around $700-800, but obviously if it can be cheaper than that and get the job done great then I'm all for it.

Thanks!

Sure, it's going to be good but where's the capture hardware? The 970 for that price is extremely good, but hoing with the 380X saves you 50 bucks. You don't really need an aftermarket cooler for the 6500, a 6400 without aftermarket cooler might save you 40. You can spend the rest for the capture card and still make it around 800. Your build is excellent though.
