I was wondering what you guys think about this:

You guys were really helpful on keyboard suggestions this will be my first time building a computer if I decided to go through with it. I would like to be able to stream at decent quality and have a 1tb hardrive.

That build is pretty solid for just playing games. But if you're going to stream I would definitely go for something like the 3570k instead because you'll need the extra cores for stream encoding and it is very easy to overclock it to 4.4-4.5 GHz provided you have a decent aftermarket cooler like the evo 212.

i7 2700k is ideal to stream with, or an amd higher than quad core. I don't think you should expect streaming room. At all. I am no expert, no am I claiming that my answer is absolute, but just from my knowledge; I don't think it'll be capable of what you want. It's still a rather solid computer to just play on, I would consider it regardless of wanting to stream or not.

This is a much better build for 500 bucks

Streaming on a $500 budget computer isn't going to work to well. An i3 definitely won't cut it. Without an i5 or FX (re: 4 cores min, 3+ Ghz) it's not going to work. Not sure if a Phenom II x955 can actually do it either, though maybe the extra core makes that much of a difference difference (I'm on a phenom ii x3 OC'd to 3.5GHz, and I get spikes when I stream).

Instead of old builds on YouTube, check this up-to-date site out OP.

Figure out a happy medium between the Modest and Fair builds. (not sure why the fair build is showing $378 total, it is an error - the builds are supposed to increase in price as you go further down the list)

Hope that helps.
