Hey guys. First of all, I want to thank everyone who has helped me along the way, providing me with expert advice and insights, over the course of creating my build. I am finally satisfied with my parts list and should be ordering parts tonight.
A little about this build... This PC is being built to stream console gameplay with the use of a capture card. It will be used for little to no PC gaming. I have tried to keep this build on a tight budget, while still creating a quality machine for it's intended purpose.
Here's the build: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/JFTgtJ
While initially considering various Geforce cards, I feel quite satisfied with the RX 460 I have decided on. The motherboard in my build supports crossfire, but does not support SLI. The RX 460 is also crossfire compatible so if I ever really do feel the need for more graphics, I can add another one in without needing to fully replace any parts. And at $130 for the 4GB version, it seems like a great value.
The CPU, motherboard, and memory are all part of a combo deal for a total cost of only $419.
I'm in love with the case and also feel good about the storage I have selected.
The only thing that is still kind of on the table here is the PSU. At 450W it is plenty of juice for my current build. I even added another RX 460, an additional 8GBs of memory, and an additional 1TB HDD to my build just to see what the wattage would look like, and it still only was sitting at about 80% wattage utilized for the 450W PSU.
I have been partially considering this PSU:
Rosewill Quark 550W Platinum Certified Fully-Modular PSU/Total cost: $55 after mail in rebate

I don't really care too much about the fully-modular, should only need semi. The platinum certification is nice though, and the extra 100W couldn't hurt if I ever decide to make future upgrades. At a total cost of $55, it seems like a steal.
Anyways, if anyone has been kind enough to take the time to read this, please let me know your thoughts and overall impressions of my build. Also I would love to hear any input about the power supply situation.
Thanks again guys!
UPDATE: Went with the Corsair CXM 450W. Couldn't resist as I was able to get this part for $26 with mail in rebate and promo code.
UPDATE: PARTS ORDERED!
