I'm looking for recommendations on a gaming build for about a $700 budget. I'm mainly wanting to play Overwatch and do some streaming if possible. Could you recommend or comment on this build i put together? I really don't know much and i was just putting things together based off what i was reading. Thank you.

Slightly improved build. ;)
The white S340 attracts fingerprints and dust like a magnet, so i've swapped it out for a matte red/black version.
