So I am apparently really bad at picking pc parts so I need at bit of help. If some one can put a part list together for me that would be great.

 

I do have a few guidelines to follow though:

  1. Under $1000 USD
  2. Can run most games in 60FPS @ 1440p
  3. Can stream with the rig
  4. At least a GTX 1060 or the Amd equivalent
  5. A 2tb hard drive and an SSD that can hold windows
  6. At least a Semi module PSU 

Thanks for the help :)

Why did you switch the ram? Also, get a higher speed ram; 2400 for AMD is slow

The cooler is so that you can overclock the 2600. The included cooler is not that good. 

8GB RAM doesn't make sense with your budget. 

The G21 is generally considered a better case than the Spec 04, and costs less.

You would want to get a better cooler than that if you want to warrant buying one over just using the stock cooler.

Probably not. The way to save on sales is to see what's on sale, and then decide the parts. Not deciding on parts, and hoping they're on sale.

I would agree if it were the 95W Wraith cooler, but the 65W version leaves a lot to be desired.

Yes but you still want to get a better aftermarket cooler than that. I mean it doesn't seem like a justified purchase unless you get a decent one.

Something like this should be a good starting hand...
