Hello everyone I was wondering if anyone could help me, I was planning on buying a new pc mainly to stream/game with also Photoshop and some slight video editing but I keep hearing its alot cheaper to build one. Im no computer whiz but I feel comfortable working on them so I think I can build one. Thank you for reading.

Approximate Purchase Date: Hoping to build it within the next month and a half

Budget Range: 1000-1500 (little more if I can build a pc which I dont have to upgrade for a while)

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Streaming, gaming, Photoshop, video editing, surfing the web

Are you buying a monitor: Yes

Do you need to buy OS: Yes

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: any

Location: Fresno, California

Parts Preferences: Not sure I hear i7 is the best but if I can get something as good for less im for it

Overclocking: No

SLI or Crossfire: No idea what this means

Additional Comments: would like to have a window and some cool light accents like how you see in most gaming pcs no a days, Would like to get a case similar to the NZXT s340 something simple and sleek Want to be able to run ELGATO HD60 smoothly, Photoshop and games like R6: SIEGE Would like it to run as quietly as possible

If your doing more than gaming, Ryzen perhaps better choice!
The software your going to use makes better use of more cores...

Maybe something like this? Maybe switch out the 250gb ssd and 500gb had for a single 500 gb sdd.

Going to go ahead and go with this build because of the extra cores and love the that NZXT case, only question I have is about the CPU cooler will that be enough or should I buy extra fans or maybe a better cooler, maybe liquid?

Just ordered the case, motherboard and CPU btw ordering more stuff mid week

Yes that is a good cooler, it will work as long as you don't start overclocking.
Adding an extra fan to the case won't make much of a diffirence, maybe 1-3 degrees. Which 12 $+ isn't really worth

Thank you just waiting for stuff to start arriving to, and will order the rest next week. More questions a buddy of mine has an asus crossfire VI hero he not using says I can have it for for 180 you think it would be better to buy that one and return the asrock x370 killer, wondering if it would be better for future upgrades
