Those are my components. I already have a case some side fans and I'd get a z370 motherboard if I dont switch to ryzen. But my question is would this PC be able to stream almost every new game with ease and by the way most likely I'll get a 1070 ti when that launches. I will mostly be streaming PUBG, Fortnite, CS:GO and Overwatch. Also, some graphically intense games that launch and interest me. http://prntscr.com/gynmvn

Hey,

first of all there is a critical error in your setup. that Coffe Lake 8700k processor is not DDR3 compatible! This architecture requires you to go DDR4! Which i would also recommend to scale up to 16 gigs if you are streaming, since streaming takes a good amount of RAM space. Combine that with your Game and say Google Chrome running in the background, your 8 gigs will not be enough.
I would also throw in an SSD, like 250-500 gigs.
Apart from that, the CPU is definetly a good choice when it comes to streaming and your 1070 will be able to handle all modern games on 720p. On not hardcore AAA titles you could even think about 1080p streaming if you scale down your graphics by just a bit.
But you definetly need DDR4 RAM, the...

But you definetly need DDR4 RAM, the motherboards no not even have DDR3 Dimms.
And since you went for an OC board and CPU and a strong cooling solution, i hope you will overclock this machine. It WILL benefit from it.

I quess you can stream at 1080p with this build if your connection allowed that but the 8giga RAM is gonna be problem if you stream games like GTA V, FIFA18 etc.
I suggest you to change the cooler and give some euros / dollars more to buy a 16giga RAM.

I would not say that the cooler is overkill. If you have a K processor and an overclockable Chipset, i would recommend not wasting it, and go for a good overclock on the CPU. Cooler should of course be powerfull enough. But its true that, if extra money is needed for the DDR4 RAM, he could save a bit on the cooler and for example use a Thermalright Macho cooler for 50€

In that case only thing missing would be an SSD and youre good to go. Though i'd rather pick G.Skill Trident Z in your place.
