I don't usually say this, get a prebuilt from NZXT. cheaper

Suprisingly this is quite a bit cheaper than building right now

I want this pc to stream in 1080p, game at high to ultra settings at 1080p, and edit without major lag in Camtasia 9.

Yeah, that's a good shout. Their 'BLD' service charges everything at MSRP, rather than the inflated prices for GPU's you'd find in stores. 

[Hu_sky]

I will choose the case later. I am just asking if these parts will perform well.

[Hu_sky]

So I should get a prebuilt from NZXT instead?

Those parts will be fantastic, but getting them at a reasonable price is another thing. GPU and RAM prices are astronomical at the minute. If you can get them for good prices then I'd definitely say go for it, but if not, I'd suggest using something like NZXT BLD that was mentioned a few comments back.

You need an SSD, and the VS psu is kind of sketchy and you don't need 600 Watts, Id get a CX corsair psu.

The price that I said also included the monitor, mouse, and keyboard.

Just out of curiosity, what price is the 1060 you've found?  

[Hu_sky]

I also think my budget would allow me to go for a ryzen 7 rather than a 5

That's way too much for that 1060. For about 20 bucks more than the build you listed, NZXT BLD got you a 1070Ti, a better Motherboard, better PSU and an SSD all while sticking with the R5 1600. It did however take you down to 8GB of ram. But, for an extra 100 you can get 16GB which brings the total price to a little over $1,600. If that's too much, you can just dial it down to a 1070 and you'll be pretty much at your original price for a much better build.

This is true, I heard the price of the GPU's were msrp.

[ErykYT3]

So, this question has pretty much been answered but I just wanted to say that the price of Graphics cards has been ridiculous lately.

November last year, 1070 I wanted to get was around £380 or something like that maybe £420, It's now over 700...

 

Maybe something changed recently.

It's crypto currency mining. Pretty much any GPU above a 1050Ti is being marked up hugely because of the demand. Absolutely sucks. I was hoping to get a Vega 56 at some point, but I have no chance of that now. They're going for £800+

If you are saying nzxt bld can do it better send the fricking link.

Yeah, it does.

I read an article about the 1060 considered less than optimal for mining now, I know nothing about what is required to do it but if this is true, It should reduce the impact that the cryptocurrency mining has on it, therefore, leaving the all the cards above the 1070 affected the most.

I don't know, I don't think this is true.
