Hey guys, I need a PC for gaming, live streaming and recording youtube videos.

As stated in the title, the budget is around 1.2k, so far I have this:

KFA2 GeForce GTX 970 OC Silent "Infin8 Black Edition"
Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 - AMD Pildedriver FX-8 8350 8 Core CPU
Corsair Hydro H110i GT 280mm Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler
SuperFlower Leadex GOLD 650W Fully Modular "80 Plus Gold"
Phanteks Enthoo Evolv Micro ATX Case - Black
Kingston HyperX Beast 8GB (2x4GB)
Samsung SpinPoint M8 2.5" 1TB (laptop size for extra space in case)

I'm expecting (hoping) Stulid to pick this apart; cheers guys!
 
Hi, just the tower? no OS and other bits?

For a start you have ATX board with a mATX case and AMD over Intel.
 
Here is a starter, assuming you only need the Tower and no O/S.

A 3.5" HDD will fit fine. I specced an external DVD as the case has a rear mounted optical bay which might be awkward to access.

My mistake, I seem to have linked the wrong one.

I know the 8350 is a bit old now, I just heard good things about it in regards to gaming and recording. I won't need any OS as I have plenty of Windows 7 licenses. I was going to go for the Phanteks Enthoo Primo as it is in the sale so full ATX is a definite maybe.

Thanks for the build Lee! Stulid, what can you do to match it?
 
The Enthoo Primo eats a bit too much of the budget up.

A bit over budget if you want the Primo. I would personally go with the Luxe as it is still a great case.

You also might need cable extensions for the psu with it being a full tower. The cpu cable might not reach otherwise.
