System Usage from Most to Least Important: Streaming/ Video editing and Rendering/ Gaming

Additional Comments: Would appreciate a side panel window and if we could keep it a black and green theme with green LEDs that would be excellent.

Thanks!

More expensive. You could paint the ram green. Probably could do a similar thing with it for the AMD build instead of getting RGB RAM.

Should be able to get 4.2 GHz with this pretty easily. I have the same mobo and CPU with an NH-D15 and got 4.2 with good temps pretty easily.

You can get much better performance/quality for the money than the above builds.
Forgot you needed OS, here's an edited list.
