NOT SURE IF THIS IS THE RIGHT THREAD

Hey there I'm building my first pc and I have just about every part but the graphics card and my drives.. I'm posting because I want to know if the graphics card I'm about to buy is a good card and if all my choices really are ok.. I want to start streaming and recording gameplay videos.. so please let me know if I should change something or not please

Sorry I live in the US and my budget is about $1200 and my build is https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Likbreezy/saved/MXn999

But your build shows 1400? Any parts already purchased? As the website pointed out, you will want Z270 MB instead of Z170.

For your 1200 budget, get this better build:
