Ive been wanting to stream for a while and I have a budget that has to be below $1020.

This is a black, white, and red kind of build. I want to stream/record some of the newer games like Fortnite. I am new to streaming/recording so any info would seriously be helpful.

 

I am willing to change anything in this system.

1. The mobo. MSI AM4 mobos are at best fine, but this one is mediocre. You wont be able to overclock this thing much because the VRMs get hot easily. The BIOS is also far from the best.

 

2. At this price, the $70 Crucial MX500 is a much better choice. It's much faster with a 5-year warranty.
