Should get a single 8gb stick vs 2 sticks for better upgradability

 

and a 380 is faster than a 960

 

also that PSU is a bit weak and low end, this one's a bit better

 

and don't buy an OEM key if you're going to buy windows they only work once.

Up to 15% faster.

 

OBS or XSplit are your friends for recording and streaming.

A fair amount faster, AMD has a shadowplay equivalent, but shadowplay overall kinda sucks because you don't have much control over your file sizes/types, OBS is going to be a much better option and an i5 should handle recording just fine.

to add to the posts above. the psu could be weak because it can not handle intel's c7 state feature well: http://www.corsair.com/en-us/blog/2013/may/haswell-compatibility-with-corsair-power-supplies
