How does this look as a pc build?

Looks alright.

The problem is that this is an nVidia product and scoring any nVidia product a "zero" is also highly predictive of the number of nVidia products the reviewer will receive for review in the future.

Only yours, you don't shitpost on the same level that we can, mainly because this thread is finally dead and should be locked.

I wasn't wrong. It's extremely rare that I am. I provided sources as well. Different devs can disagree. Further, we now have confirmed discrepancy from Twitter about he use of the pre-release 1080 driver in AMD's demo despite the release 1080 driver having been out a week prior.

You apparently haven't seen his responses to questions on YouTube. He is very condescending and aggressive in his comments with which there is little justification. He acts totally different in his videos. I don't necessarily care for this content style and there is nothing really unique about him or his channel. His endless dick jokes and toilet humor are annoying as well.

Or would something like this be better??

The Pentuim has slightly stronger single core performance, but it's a dual core chip. And it's iGPU falls behind the A8-7600. Not sure if steaming is CPU or GPU intensive, but the A8 would be the best balance of the two, and hence the better pick in my opinion.

Ummm why would he need both the HDD and a SSD?  I don't get it.  The storage requirements for this machine probably aren't going to be extreme.  Maybe throw another $20 in and bump the SSD up to a 240gb model, but drop the HDD.

Well it's also storing all of our pictures and that can take up quite a bit. So I think I'm gonna go like 120 SSD with a 1 TB hard drive for storage.
