I thought i7's were meant for gaming and streaming? I didn't know the i5 was capable of that. How's it possible?聽?

Improvements in technology, intel actually deciding to do something when amd came up with a great solution

I also have a question about the fans. The case I have comes with one fan. And I included another one on the list. Would that be enough for cooling/air flow?聽

Yeah it should be fine, I doubt your system will get that hot, maybe 1 intake and 1 output would be enough (you can get good 140mm fans for like $15 if you need them in the future and this is a good cheap fan hub)

Also, I've heard of people using i5's having to rely on GPU encoding that requires to run on a high bitrate if I want to make it look good. That a flaw of some kind?聽

Nah that's dumb it will be fine with cpu encoding especially with an intel cpu like @KuJoe said

Yeah and a fan hub is something that makes it so you can connect more fans to your pc than spaces your motherboard has for it.聽 There is only 1 cable that connects the fan hub to the pc (plus power), yet you can connect 8 fans to that.聽 It's kinda a daisy chain but not dangerous.

How can I be sure of it? Like I said I'm new to PC building and am pretty interested in how that works. Does it have to do with overclocking or anything?聽

You can go look at benchmark videos on youtube and other resources, but it's just the performance ability of the hardware I listed is good enough now and will most likely to continue to be good enough.

Would I be able to handle both 720p 60fps and 1080p 30/60 fps? Or just 720?聽

Hey everyone!

I was wondering if this build would be able to perform well streaming Overwatch at聽very good quality.聽
I've already purchased the power supply and the case. Hopefully, that doesn't restrict me from making any changes. I was also wondering how many of each specific parts do I need? (Like the fans.)聽
Would it be able to handle three monitors as well?聽
Please let me know if I need to make changes to anything. Suggestions are greatly appreciated.聽

Thanks!聽
[Budget: $1200]聽
