I'm intending to stream/game from this build at 1080p 60 fps. I cheaped out on the GPU to save costs with intention to upgrade down the road but might go with a 1070 or if the 1060 6GB. Please let me know what you think thanks!

Really? I would have thought for sure that 6 cores would handle the load better than 4 cores.

Add the HDD down the lane. That SSD will last you months before it runs out space.

The entire build is of very high quality. An performance wise it will last you very long before you need any kind of performance upgrade.

Get the Windows 10 from Kinguin. I have been using it from past 1.7Yrs and hev been receiving all windows upgrades time to time. Don't forget to get Kinguin buyer's protection for $7 extra.

Nice man I like your build and much appreciate your picks and advice. Definitely approve of Kinguin's savings on Windows 10. Do you think having a 1080 will really make much of a difference from a 1060 6GB or 1070?

Yes there is big difference when you go for GTX1080 over GTX1070, GTX1060 is far behind GTX1070. It is completely worth getting GTX1080 if you plan on gaming at 1080p at high fps for very long time. You won't be requiring any kind of performance upgrade for like 4-5Years.

As I said go with Kinguin(buy from NextKeys) and don't forget to get Kinguin Buyer's Protection.
