Gaming/Streaming Build Advice?

Looking for any tips/pointers on this build.

 

1600 is to over multitasking/streaming 

1600 & Motherboard are on sale on Amazon

 

My SSD choice was between EVO and PRO series, and I came to the conclusion that the PRO series wasn't worth the price.

 

FireCuda is on sale on amazon, if it wasn't I would've gotten the BarraCuda

 

I really wanted an RX 580 but I know how expensive they currently are, I found one at what I thought was a really good price - especially considering its 8GB

 

This was the cheapest monitor that met my standards

RX 580 can't play 144Hz at triple-A titles unless you turn the settings pretty low.

Not really, it would be fine for most games at med-high.

Considering it is around 60-80fps in Ultra BF1, the medium would be more suited for around 120-144Hz than high.

Hence why I said Med-high, not just high (BF1 isnt the only game out there either).

I would consider a high wattage psu... 

 

If you want to hit the sweet spot for the efficiency curve 50-75%....

Your parts list is around 90%.... 87% if you want to be closer I would think a 500W would be a better option 

 

so maybe a larger PSU to save headaches and possible blue screens

That's not how a PSU works man. 80% means 80% efficient. A 500W 80% PSU delivers 500W to the PC but pulls around ~625W from the wall.

Yeah that makes better sense  But tbh modern PSUs can happily run anywhere within their range. 50% is around peak efficiency and like Jayztwocents says in a recent video he would use a 1000W PSU in a 500-600W system for best efficiency. However he also says the energy savings you make by using the more efficient PSU can easily be outweighed by what the overkill PSU cost you in the 1st place.

I've played triple-A titles high setting with a 480. It'll do just fine.
