If you aren't going to overclock, replace the Z97 motherboard with a H97 one. Also, get lower profile RAM. High profile RAM will limit your options when looking for an air cooler.

I plan on building my first PC. I have a decent understanding of computers but wanted others opinions. I plan using this for gaming, streaming, and some editing. Is this a good build?

Little point going z97 if you're not oc'ing. 

Could be much cheaper: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/hWQmjX

If you won't overclock, the stock cooler is fine for the i5.

There are lots of people here that use PCPartPicker (US or not) and dont live in those countries ;)

Its very useful either way.

Those kind of posts are called misleading.

Yeah I know, that's why, if not mentioned, I ask if they live in the US/UK/... ;)

If so, I also ask for a link for the local store the OP will buy the parts from.

This should help:

Pcpartpicker should already fall under that category.
