Would this build work for gaming/streaming?

BobbyBuilds · Jan 11, 2017

I'm new to the gaming/streaming community and computer building as a whole. I was just wondering if this computer would do well. Would my CPU (i3 7300) fetch well in future proofing considering the Kaby Lake design or would it be better to go with a i5 6500? In addition, if I get the i5 6500 would it bottleneck from my GPU? For the mobo, should I go with an ATX or a microATX considering everything is getting smaller? As for storage, is it better to go with the SSD I have or would a WD 1 TB HD be better in the future? If you have any suggestions on the parts it is highly appreciated. (I'm trying to stay under $660 USD)
Thanks!

You are better off with an i5 cpu. Also 240gb will get used up really fast if that is your only storage option. Why not windows 10? Lot more stable than Windows 8.1
