Hello.
 
You can try something like this, but it won't be enough for a good Fallout 4 experience. 
 
What I recommend is playing Fallout New Vegas until you can get an i5/i7.  I never played Fallout before, but I have played a lot of the Elder Scrolls games.  Instead of Fallout 4, I decided to start with an earlier version.  New Vegas is a great game.  It may be five years old, but it looks great.
 
Anyways, if the video card is too big it you can cut the case to make it fit.  Make sure you ask an adult for help.  You would want to remove all the components before you work on the case.
 
...or you can save your money and build a complete system.

Why?  You will be getting very similar performance.

You can also switch out a single component without disturbing the other.

The i5 for just streaming is fine, but gaming and streaming might not be so fine.  I have not tried "ReLive" streaming, but I would assume it would have some perfomance taken away from the GPU as it is based on using the GPU to record and stream.  For $100 more, the i7 or Ryzen 1700 is a good investment for your purpose.
 
I am limited to 720p/30PFS streaming when playing Minecraft and streaming to YouTube.  I encode on the CPU though.  So that's:  The game (Minecraft), the encoding, and the viewing of the stream on a second monitor all on the CPU.

I got it free with my GPU... I still have not installed it to try it out.  I would like it, but it is not done so I wait.

Space sim + first person shooter + economy sim + IDK what else.
 
It is still in development.

7.5 weeks of Overtime, 60-72hr work weeks, finally completed.  So tired but can't argue with the over time pay and the movie will be out in a couple of months.  The plus side is, the company gave my department today and tomorrow off, paid, and it doesn't come out of our stock of vacation days.  I'm using vacation days for next week, so 11 day weekend.   Because I'm tired and worn out, I want to sleep, watch TV and movies, play games, see friends, work on projects.  All the OT also allowed me to make some heavy hits on my student loans, so they'll be down to under $5000 or less by the turn of the month, and $1000 in spending money piled up for Anime North.
 
...BUT SO FREAKING TIRED OMIGOD! D:

This move make Zero sense in the long run. I guess I will be typing up some well worded letters to a few Senators ... Stupid.

they would both be the same PC

Peekaboo

 
WikiLeaks releases a new batch of leaked CIA projects that target Apple products that is code named Dark Mater, The second release in the series details the techniques that WikiLeaks claims are employed by CIA assets to compromise Apple devices between the manufacturing line and the end user.  The new released files  contains documentation for several CIA projects that infect Apple Mac firmware
 

 
Among others, these documents reveal the "Sonic Screwdriver" project which, as explained by the CIA, is a "mechanism for executing code on peripheral devices while a Mac laptop or desktop is booting" allowing an attacker to boot its attack software for example from a USB stick "even when a firmware password is enabled". The CIA's "Sonic Screwdriver" infector is stored on the modified firmware of an Apple Thunderbolt-to-Ethernet adapter. Another documentation being NightSkies tool made specifically for iPhone. NightSkies version 1.2 had been out since 2008 and according to WikiLeaks was specifically designed to be installed on factory fresh iPhones.
 
 
Apple later claimed that they fixed the issue ,but Wikileaks counteracted that this is not a zero day exploit & it is still vulnerable , In other note Assange offered the affected companies around 3 months (90 days) for them to provide encryption keys to WikiLeaks in order for them to communicate details of the exploits. But so far most of em contacted him via another secure channel , so far the details havent been shared unless they agree with Assanges terms of communication , Microsoft , google have made contact with him on this , But so far no real info was exchanged

Well, bringing the "Cleaning" service to the digital age would fit in very well to my skill set. I could see businesses and politicians making more use of Cyber Cleaning than true criminal organizations like the Mob.

seriously loving the idea and should be implemented EU wide
 
 
Ofcom is UK's telecom regulator

You need to ask yourself a few questions:
 
Are you willing to be an early adopter and deal with a new platforms launch issues? (Intel has had them too in the past)
If the answer is no then stop here.
 
Are you going to be gaming at 1440p or on a 60Hz monitor?
 
If the answer is yes then the 7700k loses its advantage and is redundant from this point onward.
 
Will you be doing ANYTHING else cpu involved other than gaming? e.g. streaming or video editing.
 
If yes then the 1700 wipes the floor with the 7700k.
 
Do you want to play todays games or tomorrows?
 
Games will start to take full advantage of more cores/threads and this will make R7s even more appealing. sure games today favour quad cores but remember when it was all about single core? Times change, vulkan is coming.
 
Be a pioneer or play it safe its up to you. Either way answer the above questions honestly and you have your answer.
 
Proud owner of 6700k system and an R7 1700 system.
 
My only advice is don't get the 1800X as 1700s are showing in the vast majority of cases to OC very stable at the higher frequencies. Also don't be sold on XFR it doesn't boost for long and only boosts 1 core.
 
For Ryzen your best bet is an all core overclock.
 
 

I don't even think they are binned like that. I just think the 1800Xs are tested at 4GHz and the rest are just 1700 or 1700Xs. I can get 3.7GHz all cores on stock voltage on my 1700. I can easily be stable at 4GHz with my RAM at 2933 and still be under 1.4V (1.45 is the recommended highest you take it). The 1800Xs biggest competitor is not intel it is the 1700 imo. Online I've never seen anyone achieve less than 3.9GHz stable so its a bit baffling paying ~ £160 premium when its 5 minutes work in the bios to replicate.
 
In summary I think with the AM4 platform the motherboard is way more important than the CPU so get yourself a decent mobo and a 1700 should perform well.
 
EDIT: when I say binned like that I mean it doesn't appear that they make sure the 1700s are the ones that can't achieve the higher clocks.

Well I am glad we are using multi million dollar computers to make dance dance revolution levels...

Man, the OC'ers are gonna jump in a rip you a new one.
 
Replacing the TIM with CLU (replacing the IHS) has shown persistent, and meaningful, results for Intel CPUs.
 
 

What graphics cards?

Don't do that.
 
@DaemonWarrior44  You meant two of them, I saw x4...
 
A good 550W PSU will do.  Want some suggestions?

I thought you meant four RX 480s... you meant two 4GB 480s.

Crossfire 480s are a waste of money. Get a single GTX 1070 instead.

Your CPU?

...unless he already has one... then it is not as bad.

I plan to buy an i7 non-K
