Hi, I'm planning on making a PC able to stream games through twitch. I know I have to replace my current CPU and motherboard, but I'm not sure about the GPU I have or the CPU+Motherboard I picked. I'm also running 8gbs of RAM.
The parts
I'm open to critique and suggestions.

1. budget?
2. Why do you need a new GPU?
3. Are you actually going to be overclocking?
4. Current RAM? No, 8GB is not enough information.
5. Current case? Can it fit a full ATX motherboard?
6. Which games on what settings do you want to stream and how many fps do you want to get while doing so?
7. Which settings (res/fps/bitrate) do you plan on using for the stream?
#3
10/10 advice, that's not how it works.

i5 4690k with GTX970 sounds better to me than 4790+950. Maybe this is bad advice if you're not using hardware encoding.
