How do we feel about Hybrid Drives? I'm debating swapping from a 2 drive system to one to save some more money, but I don't have much info on hybrids to know whether that would be a good move or not

Thanks! I'll add this to my list of things to look into! I'm thinking I'm going to blend all my lists that I've come up with to find the best/cheapest stuff and then try and find them cheaper at brick and mortar stores.

Okay. So here's what I have now based on suggestions: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Churdle/saved/DMGq4D

How does one go about getting windows for free? Everything I've seen shows it as a paid product? What GPU do you recommend? (Again, keeping in mind that the initial will be temporary just to get me by until I decide to go all out)

What size is it?

1. Budget & Location I'm looking to spend less than $1,000 US. (I'm in the Phoenix, AZ area if anyone knows any good brick and mortar shops around that may be cheaper than online) 2. Aim Basically, I have this (probably far-fetched) dream of being able to make money off my favorite hobby and quit my normal day job, so I want a system that is a good starter for gaming of all types plus streaming. I'm not necessarily married to the idea of having a total beast at first, my idea is to invest a little bit now just to get started, with the intention of upgrading down the road if it pays off and I decide stick with it for the long run. So upgradeability is a pretty big factor. 3. Monitors I plan on just using 2 monitors at first (one for gameplay and the other for everything else). I already have a 32" 1080 led tv I plan on using for the main display. I can probably get a second display pretty cheap and easy so I'm not concerned about that. Eventually, I'd love to change the tv to my secondary monitor and run either dual or triple 4k displays for the gaming, but again, thats long-term goals. 4. Peripherals I have a simple logitech bluetooth mouse/keyboard combo that work okay for now. Eventually I'll upgrade to proper gaming stuff. I also have been looking into getting a streamdeck to help make the streaming side of things a bit easier. I'd like to run either windows 7 or 10. I already did a little browsing and created a parts list, but with this being my first build, I'm not 100% confident in it, so I'd appreciate some feedback in things that may work better/places to cut costs/etc. https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Churdle/saved/NCRJ8d
