My current PC build is just over 5 years old and starting to really show its age with random stalls and having slower load time once it gets to the desktop. so I was suggestions on these 2 builds and 2 prebuilt units to try and figure out what direction to go with a new PC.

my current system
win 7 pro, 8gig g.skill ddr3, samsung 840 evo ssd 250gig
I5-4670k, gtx 770 2gb vid card, z87-g45 mobo.

what I'm looking at are

with the only difference with the other build is graphics card and PSU

Or I was looking at
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883230374
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883227807

Just wondering what people thing or would change. Looking to do some streaming while gaming also on this PC if that matters.

Thanks

I suspect you only have a 1080p panel based on your previous setup. You can stick with the 1070ti now and upgrade later. This way you can invest in a decent x470 board and processor:

1. You don't have to spend $100 on the operating system. You can download the installation media here:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
Then purchase a $5 key on eBay.
2. The stock cooler that comes with the processor is adequate for overclocking.
3. You can get a better power supply for the money to allow additional overhead for future graphics card upgrades.
4. The Focus G case will have better air flow due to the mesh design and additional fans.
5. No need to spend extra on a NVME drive. SATAIII M.2 drives cost less and the performance difference doesn't justify the additional cost.

6. You could spend a little extra and go with the 1st gen Ryzen 1700 that has 8 cores 16 threads (Instead of the 2600). If you over clock it a little, you'll get 2nd gen stock Ryzen performance. The overclock and 2/4 extra cores/threads will prove to provide better longevity in playing future triple A titles.

If I went up to the 1700/x cpu would the b450 board still be good enough for it. I’ve never messed with over clocking but think I want to give it a go. Nothing crazy.

That is an absolute no. You can't buy a $100 product for $5 and expect that it's going to work right. These keys are cheap for a reason, and they can and will be deactivated at any time. Do not buy keys from eBay.

Or just run Win 10 unlicensed and deal with the watermark for awhile, till they can afford to buy a legit key. That G1 PSU isn't a very good idea though. No mail in rebates included.

I have and it’s fairly easy to get them to 4Ghz. Over that nkt so much but again the process limits them after 4.

Had 2 2400g chips on a MSI B350 tomahawk. (The first chip had some weird graphical glitches and this was when GPUs were sky high in price)
