Opinions on this first gaming PC build

Also, somebody has suggested that I get a B350 board if I'm not planning on overclocking, would you agree with this?
 
Ok, I don't know how to do that so will stick with X470. So overall you think Gigabyte - X470 AORUS ULTRA GAMING ATX AM4 Motherboard will be best?

Would you get EVGA or Corsair PSU?

Sorry I've asked so many questions and am being a pain, I just want to order it tonight and don't want to get anything wrong.
 
Honestly thank you for all of your help. So my final build is:

CPU: AMD - Ryzen 5 2600X 3.6GHz 6-Core Processor
Memory: Team - T-Force Vulcan 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3200 Memory
Motherboard: Gigabyte - X470 AORUS ULTRA GAMING ATX AM4 Motherboard
Storage: Samsung - 860 Evo 500GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Storage: Western Digital - Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card: Palit - GeForce GTX 1070 Ti 8GB Dual Video Card
Case: Phanteks - Enthoo Pro M ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply: Corsair - TXM Gold 650W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply
Monitor: AOC - G2460FQ 24.0" 1920x1080 144Hz Monitor

You're sure this will be able to stream 1080p no lag?
 
I've just found out that the RAM I've chosen isn't on the QVL for that motherboard. Should I go back to the original ADATA 3000 RAM as that is?
 
Thanks @orbitalwalsh , unfortunately I think this is going to be over my budget once I've bought the extras I need on top. Do you think this build will be good enough to stream?

Could I just use this monitor - Acer UM.WW3EE.001 21.5-Inch Full HD Monitor (TN Panel, 5 ms, DVI) - Black for a second screen?

Thanks @orbitalwalsh! I've looked at his review before but unfortunately don't have an extra £100 to spend on the 2700X. Would you go for the Team 3200 RAM which isn't on the motherboards QVL or ADATA 3000 which is?
 
Ok, thanks. Does it make a difference that the 1070ti doesn't have a back plate? Also do I need to buy additional fans for the case?

I'm planning on recording with OBS as well as streaming, I'm assuming it will be just as good?
 
It's a Gigabyte - GeForce GTX 1080 8GB WINDFORCE OC 8G Video Card. Would you rather get this or a slightly more expensive 1070ti as you don't think Palit's great?
 
If I wasn't to get a 2600X I would really want the 2700X which is £100 more. The Palit 1070ti is £399, the EVGA 1070ti is £424 and the Asus 1070ti is £453. Whereas the Gigabyte 1080 is £448. Which one would you rather get?
 
Thanks, will the 2400MHz effect the performance? I feel like once I get the keyboard and mouse this is going to be above my budget.

if ~£1300 is your budget, and by the sounds of things, you'd want something to plug and play...

...then may i suggest this instead:
My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £1,328.52 (includes shipping: £14.70)
​

hex core intel 8700 (with aftermarket cooler). should be able to stream and play no issues.

Ok, thanks @tamzzy . The most I want to spend is £1400, but ideally £1300. I need the build, monitor, keyboard and mouse (basically the whole set up). I know it's quite a tight budget, I just need something that handles streaming and recording well. I'm only really starting out but want decent performance.
 
Thanks @tamzzy. Regarding @orbitalwalsh's AMD 2700X bundle I've added it up with extras and it's going to be basically £1500, whereas the i7 build is £1450, which is still over my budget unfortunately. Would you buy windows for cheap on eBay or not risk it and pay the full amount because then I could afford the i7 build?

I think this is the best I can get so far in my budget with a second monitor:
CPU: AMD - Ryzen 5 2600X 3.6GHz 6-Core Processor
Motherboard: Gigabyte - X470 AORUS ULTRA GAMING ATX AM4 Motherboard
Memory: ADATA - XPG Z1 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3000 Memory
Storage: Crucial - MX500 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Storage: Western Digital - Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card: KFA2 - GeForce GTX 1070 Ti 8GB EX Video Card
Case: Phanteks - Enthoo Pro M ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply: Corsair - TXM Gold 650W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply
Operating System: Microsoft - Windows 10 Home OEM 64-bit
Case Fan: BitFenix - Spectre 43.5 CFM 120mm Fan
Case Fan: BitFenix - Spectre 43.5 CFM 120mm Fan
Monitor: Dell - E1914H 18.5" 1366x768 Monitor
Monitor: AOC - G2460FQ 24.0" 1920x1080 144Hz Monitor
Total: £1396.44

I know I've used the ADATA memory although I'd get more support on here for the Team memory, I'd feel more confident getting something from the QVL. Do you have any opinions on this build?
 
Thanks, I'll have a look at the cost of those. Do you think the build will be able to handle streaming/recording well or not?
 
I've switched to 550W, thanks for that suggestion. Would you say there's much difference between the P300 and P400 case?
I could save extra money by going for a MSI motherboard but I believe someone said before that Gigabyte is better?
Also are you sure the KFA2 is going to be ok even though its a cheaper 1070ti?
 
Ok, thanks. Cheapest I can get Windows for is £80 on ******. I've already got a mic that I'm going to use. Unfortunately my headset broke and if I'm building this I can't afford a new one so might sound stupid but I'm thinking of just using my beats headphones?
 
I saw somebody streaming with i7 6700, 32GB, 1080 and another with i7-7700 CPU, a GTX 1060 6GB GPU, and 16GB RAM. Their streams were basic but how would you say my build compares to this?
 
So are you saying to get grey keys? Thanks, well if my 2600x build is going to be better then I think I'm going to go for it!

Will these fans go with the new case and do you think everything's going to be cool enough? If I wanted to add Wifi in the future is it possible with this motherboard?
