**Pardon the typo on the title, "Aesthetically pleasing streamer build"**

Been playing with some ideas for a build aimed towards live streaming and game capture.

Budget would be roughly £2000-£2500. One important thing I've been looking for was thunderbolt 3.0 connectivity hence the choice in motherboard, and i wanted an aesthetically pleasing build hence the fans and cables being colour coded, The GPU has RGB lighting to match.

This will be the first full build i've done since around 2010 so i want it to be a special and fun project that leaves me staring at my build with a big smile!

Would this be a solid build, or could you recommend any changes or if I've overlooked something? Cheers.

Try those bits.

Retail CPU with the bundle = 3yr warranty vs 1yr.

The m.2 if you use the lower slot wont be seen behind the gfx card.

Win10 on USB as no where for a DVD drive on that case.

Brilliant thanks i didn't notice the deal, and you make a good point about the M.2 SSD!
 
If you'll be uploading recordings as well as live streaming, wouldn't something like an Elgato Game Capture HD60 Pro capable of 60fps recording be better? It's about £30 more though.

I've always found the Elgato software hit & miss, always has issues with sound drivers and the streaming software feels a bit too minimalist and often i just use the video output to xplit or OBS anyways.

All videos with get after effects + premiere + handbrake treatment anyway :)

Those cables are for an EVGA/SF psu so they won't work with the Corsair AX. You would need to swap the psu out for an EVGA G2 750W or change the cables.

That case doesn't get a great review if I remember correctly. Corsair have the 460X which is pretty similar although it is pre-order.
