Gaming/Streaming Build Advice?

[TheCokeBoss]

Hey guys, I'm currently helping my brother build a gaming pc. We're not fully sure on what we should add or remove and what not. This is the build we have so far:

The cap is $1000 and the pc will be used for streaming and playing games such as LoL, WoW, BF4 at medium-high quality. Future upgrades will be made when money comes around.

 

What do you guys think?
