Friend wants to build his first PC, He plans to stream and play games at 1440p. his budget is £1150 pound with a keyboard, mouse, windows, and a £70 game. Here is what we have so far, any suggestions. The CPU and SSD are second hands with a 2-year warranty. He's not sure on Ryzen, please give suggestions for any changes.

If he wants to stream I'd imagine a 1600 would be a way better choice.

Ive tried telling him that but he seems to be set on intel for some odd reason

Ryzen would be ideal, but 6700 is doable, he'd just use NVENC instead (not as good as software encoding but not horrible like QuickSync).

 

Also, PSU in the build isn't very good, I'd swap it for something like a CXM grey sticker unit or S12ii or M12ii.

212 EVO not that good, go for something like Cryorig H7

Change to a better PSU
Other parts are fine.

Doesn't the H7 require special mounting brackets to fit AM4 mobos?
