I will be using this PC to mainly play games, but I may do some video editing as well as live streaming. I'm wondering if I need 16gb of RAM or will 8gb be enough?

8GB should be plenty.

if you use any cs6 software for editing i'd say 16gb. adobe software can be a ramhog.

I suggest sticking with 8gb as it is slowly becoming the standard

Everything looks pretty good, although that GPU's color scheme is kind of odd. Are you mainly going for a blue color scheme?

Lol I don't care that much about the looks. I just look for whatever's cheap but good

8GB is enough but 16GB wouldn't hurt since you're doing some video editing.
