Hey guys! So, I have finally gotten my parents to back me with streaming and YouTubing while I'm still living under their roof. I haven't accumulated the funds required to begin this project so my ideas are pretty straight forward and simple right now until I can get on my feet with it.
I have deemed this project the 'Hybrid' due to the mixture of the R9 290x's graphical capabilities (gaming wise) and the i7s strength overall. Have a look. Also, the partpicker says at the bottom that the case may be too small for the R9 290X? Any suggestions? No budget but don't make it riduclously expensive for a case.

Thanks!
The Cooler Master Cosmos II is about the size of a wheelie bin! you whont have a problem fiting in a 290x (why 290x get a 390 for a 8gb buffer)
Allso all this cash spent and no ssd or decent psu? if you are planing crossfire cards you will need more than 750w's
I chose the 290x because I'm kind of new to this. I want to start simple before I really turn my system into an overkill machine, you know? Not trying to break the bank I just want something to start with and can play with for a while until I decide to upgrade if Twitch and UTube starts bringing in a lot of money.
A better cooler for that 6 core would be nice. like a phanteks or noctua one and then just use the provided paste. I would recommend a decent ssd and a 2tb hd if you can afford it also.
What kind of SSD? Would a 500GB Samsung SSD work wonders or nah? :3
The only thing I'm worried about is getting the 390. What's the difference the two?
its a updated 290 with 8gbs of vram instead of 4 i allso changed your ram from a 2 stick set to a 4 stick set as x99 is a quad channel set up (there are 8 ram slots on that mobo) if you use 2 stick's you will be running in single channel mode you whant 4 slots filed to run in quad channel mode.
Awesome, I will keep your partpickers version as my own setup if you don't mind?
i dont mind...if you plan on overclocking the cpu i'd grab something better to cool the cpu a cm 212 will keep it cool but its not realy adequate for overclocking a 140w cpu
Hey man some people are weary about that shit! Lol! But I will probably, but I don't really feel like overclocking is necessary? I feel like it'll just burn up if I use it too much so I tend to stay away from it until I really need it.
its a extreme cpu it dosent need overclocking it will run your tasks without a problem but people like to overclock stuff :)

What is the point of overclocking then!? Just to ensure there isn't that random drop in FPS or??
overclocking is just extra free performance but it allso degrades your cpu faster up's and downs.
Seems like I giant waste of $$ to me, so, staying away from that. :) thanks for your help coop!
If you're going to be recording yourself, streaming etc. you're going to want to pay attention to noise. i.e. make sure your PC's quiet. I'd do something like this:
