So I am a first time builder coming from console to pc gaming. I've done a lot of research with a budget of $1350 usd.

 

This is what i have chosen: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/JppRkd

 

What I need to know is, is there anything you guys would change or add for 1080p gaming and streaming on a single monitor?
