Hi everyone, I need some help, I have recently created a custom setup on ibuypower and need some help with if its overkill, if I need more, or if I can reduce some things to reduce the cost.  I want to use this to stream games from my xbox, but also play games like CS:GO and H1Z1 and do use it for homework when school comes around.  Without further ado here is the setup..

Swap the processor for a i5 4440 since the board is a non overclocking board. 750 or 700w psu is fine.

Get a better SSD, the V300 is sh*t... 850EVO or PRO, or Kingston HyperX 3K... other than that, solid build

As for the main reason that it's sh*t. Read this.
