Hi there @Andrei666!

 

The rig looks pretty good in my opinion and will do a nice job for streaming. 

 

The only thing I would change is the HDD because WD Purple is designed or surveillance purposes and it won't be the best choice for a secondary storage location in your build. Instead you can take a look at WD Black, because it is a performance oriented drive and has build-in features like dynamic cache (which optimizes the cache allocation) and no touch ramp technology (the recording head never touches the disk) that will give you faster loading times. It has 5 years limited warranty as well, performs better during multitasking and is also designed to sustain longer heavier workloads and harsher environments, or WD Blue which is meant for everyday computing - very good drive with solid performance and typical power consumption. Here are some links if you want to check them out:

 



 

Hope this helps and cheers! :)
