I am trying to build a budget gaming PC and was wondering if the parts were good. I will
Also stream/ edit gameplay.
(I do not have video card because I am looking at an apu instead of a CPU)

The parts are:

AMD A8-6600K 3.9GHz Quad-Core Processor $119.98 Outlet PC

ASRock FM2A75 Pro4-M Micro ATX FM2 Motherboard $78.98 SuperBiiz

Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory $125.99 Best Buy

Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive $59.99 NCIX US

Encore ENUWI-1XN45 802.11b/g/n USB 2.0 Wi-Fi Adapter $9.98 Outlet PC

Cooler Master RC-430-KWN6 ATX Mid Tower Case $34.00 Newegg


Corsair CX 430W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V Power Supply $29.99 Newegg

Microsoft Windows 8 (OEM) (64-bit) $89.74 Amazon
 
Believe me, for gaming this build should be much better. It has just a little less CPU performance but it has a lot awesome GPU performance and hence much better gaming performance.

Also, you would never need more than 8GB RAM for gaming, so there is no point in getting 16GB RAM for gaming.

So here is the beast for similar price :
