    Maybe use a high quality air cooler instead of liquid cooler for that budget, if you're concerned with value over looks. Be quiet dark rock pro 4 or noctua NH-D15 are superb performers.

    Game load times are irrelevant, you're saying?  Come on, I know you don't mean that.  Especially on heavily modded games or any that have loading screens ingame like MMO's or open world or games with levels, etc.
     
    For streaming while playing, you want a high core count and at least 16GB of RAM as said above.

    So it's been 20+ years since I last gamed as a serious hobby. Now that I'm older the  learning curve is steep on the latest technology and my patience and time is limited. I currently have a nice NZXT i700 case (red), 1TB storage hard drive, and gtx 1080 ( Zotoc ) gpu. I anticipate being a casual to moderately serious gamer playing mostly FPS games. I Stream alot of video content. Also the usual many open tabs of stock sites, music, etc etc.. I did do alittle oc'ing back in the day but I'm not much of techie these days. So I"m ISO a great to best CPU/mobo/memory setup that will be kick ass on the games but will be a minimum of tinkering and no issues streaming video etc.
     
    So can you guys chime in and help to end my migraine from researching and failing to come up with a solid combo....
     
    Cheers!
