I'm looking for a PC build for around $2000 Canadian dollars that includes a full rig along with one monitors (pref 1080) and windows 10 home, don't need a mouse or keyboard. I plan to use this build for gaming mostly while being able to stream. I want this build to last me for a long time.  If possible would like to have a case that is all one colour with a tempered glass side panel as well as a SSD would be nice and hopefully having all the parts look sexy. Thanks!

I've been out of the market for a while so is the Ryzen 5 from AMD the competition for intel's Kaby Lake processors?  Is Team Vulcan a reliable memory brand?

Are you able to see it now?  If not I'm not too sure what you mean by pressing TX.

Yep, it's good now. There's a button labeled TX that makes it easy:

and you just select the text and press Tx, and it will magically make it readable to night theme users.

Yeah, it's the current competition. It destroys the i5.

Yes, both are correct. The Ryzen 5 1600 is better than the Kaby lkae i5's and Team memory is a new company and is pretty good.

Without the mouse and keyboard would there be any part of the build you would upgrade?

I don't plan on currently overclocking and don't know if I will in the future.  Does this affect the cpu choice?

The HDD won't. But if you want to overclock in the future you should get a CPU with a K at the end (i7 7700K) with a motherboard with a Z at the beginning (Z270). If you go with AMD then most of the Ryzen 7 CPU's are overclockable.

All Ryzen processors are unlocked.

Gigabyte - GA-AB350-GAMING 3 ATX AM4 Motherboard or Asus - PRIME B350-PLUS ATX AM4 Motherboard.  I saw that some people were having trouble with the Asus motherboard bios and the limited amount of fan headers so I'm not too sure which of these two motherboards I should get.
