Hey everyone, new here. 

After 15 years of console gaming, I have finally decided to transition to PC gaming. 

I found a list of parts that I figured could help me stream and play Overwatch at the same time: 

Graphics Card: GTX 1050 Ti 
CPU: Intel Pentium G4560 
Motherboard: MSI B250 Pro-VD 
RAM: 8 GB DDR4 
HDD: Seagate BarraCuda 1 TB 
Power Supply: EVGA 450 B 
Case: Corsair Carbide 200R 
Operating System: Windows 10

Would this build allow me to stream and play Overwatch at a more than average quality while also having other software running? (Spotify, OBS, Streamlabs Chatbot, Discord).
Answers, suggestions, opinions are all appreciated. 
Thanks for your help!

What are your thoughts on my list? 
What's pretty good about your list is that it is much cheaper than my $1300 build.

Anywhere between 500-1500. 
I took a look on PcPartPicker.com and it summed the total of all my parts would be $1365. 

Budget isn't really my HUGE concern, but I do want a build that isn't beyond perfect or anything, just a build that can allow an average viewer well..view the gameplay without any huge problems.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Qbx2RJ This is what I would do. An I5 8600k that will do its job for more than 4 years, a 1060 6gb which is the best at the moment when it comes to prices, a SSD is required if you want to stream properly, also a 2tb HDD to store all your games/videos etc, windows as you listed already in your partpicker etc. 

Goes for $1168 on pcpartpicker.com

Man, being able to list all of these in such a quick amount of time is pretty impressive to me. 
(Like I mentioned, a 15-year console gamer. Hardly ever touched a gaming PC). 

What're the max settings the graphics card could run Overwatch at? 
Sorry if that sounds like a dumb question. :ph34r:

I guess with this overwatch could be ran on MAX settings without problems at all.
