I already own the case and the two fans, I look to do some light to medium video editing and recording, livestreaming and over all gaming on this. I'll pick up a monitor sometime soon (didn't include) and i tried not maxing out over $500. Still trying to figure out how I'm going to fit $100 windows in here though.

Is just fine as long as you don't plan to do any kind of oc.

Is the g3258 a decent cpu in terms of video rendering and livestreaming though?
