This is my parts list so far:

 

1.Intel Core i5-4590 3.3GHz Quad-Core Processor
2.Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO CPU Cooler
3.ASRock Z97 Anniversary ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
4.G.Skill Ares Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
5.Samsung 850 EVO-Series 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
6.Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

7.EVGA GeForce GTX 960 4GB Video Card

8.NZXT Source 210 Window ATX Mid Tower Case

9.EVGA 500W 80+ Bronze Power Supply

 

       I was wondering if anyone had any advice as far as parts to give on my list. Be aware I am building to play fps games such as CSGO, make YT videos, and most likely stream.

With a locked processor, you won't be using the Z97 motherboard to it's full potential so I would recommend changing to a H97 motherboard instead.

 

Edit: What is your budget by the way?

I just used MSI because I just needed to add the 960 into the build.. I wasn't looking at the manufacturer
