Hey fellas,

Currently building a gaming/streaming PC and was wondering if these parts would work together. I'm a little outdated in the parts these days.
Let me know if there are any changes required or if something would need upgrading. Budget is $2k. Thanks !

Well that's a LOT better spec than some I see trying to stream, so yeah, it will work. Just keep in mind though that streaming generally drops FPS considerably. So you still may have to drop settings some depending what games you're streaming and what frame rate you're shooting for.
