Hi, i am a first time PCer, and i was wondering about this set up, and how it would perform with Steam games, probably mostly CSGO, and streaming. Would i be able to stream at 1080 60FPS no problem? And whilst sreaming, could i do other tasks? I am very new when it comes to this and i want to make sure everything works. Also, if you guys could, if i were to replace the CPU with a i5-6600k and a GPU GTX 750TI, what would be the difference? Would there be a big one? Thank you. http://pcpartpicker.com/list/rLngtJ
 
Solution
1) If you haven't purchased that computer scrap the csm550 right now and get an EVGA G2 550, it's the same price but far, far better
2) 6600K is great for games, hardly notice a difference
3) BUT the 750Ti is absolute garbage compared to the 970. At this point though, do NOT buy the 970, instead get the GTX1060, it's faster and cheaper
4) If you plan on streaming, a dedicated capture card is highly suggested, though the 1060+shadowplay should be fine for most games
