The Cohhilition

Hello Everyone,
I'm starting up YouTube and later streaming on Twitch. But I had a quick question because I am completely clueless when it comes to computers. I am attempting my first build, I have some parts picked out and I need some info if its good enough to stream and play games (H1Z1, DayZ, CS:GO, Fallout 3 and New Vegas, Skyrim, etc...). Here are the Spec:

AMD FX-6300 Vishera 6-Core 3.5GHz (4.1GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 95W FD6300WMHKBOX Desktop Processor (Model:FD6300WMHKBOX)
GIGABYTE GA-970A-D3P AM3+/AM3 AMD 970 6 x SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard (Model:GA-970A-D3P)
HyperX Savage 8GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory Model HX321C11SR/8 (Model:HX321C11SR/8)
Western Digital Blue WD10EZEX 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive (Model:WD10EZEX)
HyperX Fury SHFS37A/120G 2.5" 120GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) (Model:SHFS37A/120G)
ZOTAC GeForce GTX 960 ZT-90301-10M 2GB 128-Bit DDR5 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card (Model:ZT-90301-10M)
Cooler Master Elite 431 Plus - Mid Tower Computer Case with Windowed Side Panel and USB 3.0 (Model:RC-431P-KWN2)
Cooler Master V650 - Compact 650W 80 PLUS Gold Modular PSU (6th Generation Skylake Compatible) (Model:RS650-AMAAG1-S1)
BYTECC BRACKET-250 2.5" HDD/SSD Metal Mounting Kit (Model:BRACKET-250)

It's a pretty good rig.

I would suggest Intel over AMD for the cpu.Whats your budget?

If you can, i would try squeeze and little more for a better GPU, 960 isn't bad but I'm just thinking longevity

Very Much appreciated for input. What kind of CPU would you recommend at a reasonable price from Intel, like $200 or so.
Also for the GPU?

whats your total budget?

Hello!

Looks like you PC that you have built is around $500. I am going to try to get something around there but like Mr. Lobster said a switch to Intel may lead to better results, especially if you will be editing videos for Youtube. You can get an i5-4590 right now at $199.99 and that may be your best option on price/performance. Making a switch to Intel will make your overall price higher though. You can also get this ASRock motherboard for $113.99. (Z97 Extreme4) It currently has a $20 as well.

These changes bump your price up to $630 which is ~$130 increase. I would suggest trying to look through the Open Box Section of Newegg for a video card as they been getting a lot in.

Another suggestion for getting a cheap PC is to wait until the things you want/require are on sale. It may take longer to get a full PC together, but depending on budget you can get more for the money. You also shouldn't need the SSD mount, I took that out.

I just made this computer, it has been able to do everything I have thrown at it. Let me know if you have any questions.
