Need help on a $1000 build

So this is a build that I had set for my first PC, I wanted to be playing high demanding games (witcher,farcry,skyrim) at the same time playing some low-medium demanding games (csgo,battlefield,tf2) just wanting your opinion on this build what can I do to change to improve it! http://pcpartpicker.com/p/mVZhXL

I think this Is better for gaming and if you don`t need 1 tb HD then get like a water cooling, and for gaming I think you only need 8 GB only in the future will you need and then you can upgrade to 16 GB. The i7 will gwt you like 1-5 fps more so...

I have a gpu already it's an Asus r9 270x 4gb, is that good enough?

i would personaly recommend a better more higherend gpu, if you can afford realy, 4790k + 270X is a bit unbalanced.
Because with a 270X you might get dissapointed wenn it comes to gaming performance now days.

i would recommend something like a R9-390 / GTX970 wenn it comes to 1080p gaming realy.

Next to that, the build is basicly fine, however those Corsair Vengeance pro ram, are rediculous overpriced and not realy worth it.
I would say change those for a pair of G.skill snipers.

HyperX fury kits tend to be pretty cheap over here in the UK and look nice IMO, if you're not into the looks of GSkill snipers.

the r9 270x good enough for like CSGO an TF2 but for battlefield or witcher, there way I recommend the r9 390 its way better for high demand gaming in1080p (I have the gtx 970 but I have seen that the r9 390 its better and cheeper)

Still doesn't take away from the fact this is a $1000 build, 270X in that budget is a bit freaking unbalanced - MUCH better can be done. An R9 390, as previously mentioned, would do nicely.

He allready brought it not much he can do about that lol since its a 4gb vershon maybe go crossfire 270x 4gbs.

Could still return it, or try sell it. If even at a loss you'd do better.

Card goes for around 230+ I bought it for $100 of this guy so maybe I can try to sell it

Heck if you can sell it for a profit that'd be even better.

I'll have to wait till it arrives from the mail but I'll be sure to put it up on Craigslist and ebay, if that 390 is good like you guys are saying, hey I'm new to the PC build but I don't want kitty stuff. I want a PC that I could play semi-hardcore games and little streaming, that's it maybe have some little stuff here and there,but mainly for gaming and streaming

Ok so I edited miarce's build http://pcpartpicker.com/p/ZjT2D3 is this a good alternative ?

Well if you're going to be streaming I'd assume you'd want the thing to be silent and you're probably going to benefit from some extra cores. Unless you can step up to a 4790K, the 8350 isn't a bad option:

Either that or you could go for a hyperthreaded xeon, no overclocking though:

That RAM was only 1333Mhz btw, put an extra dollar in and you've got a 1600Mhz kit that looks nice too.

Not entirely sure about the motherboards used, not knowledgeable in that field.

So this is my first build and I wanna be able to play high demanding games and also be able to stream at the same time, http://pcpartpicker.com/p/KPYyNG I've been working on this build for quite a while and hoping for people to see or what they think of it

It will get the job done. Some games might not get the most out of your eight core. A 4790K (or skylake?) although more expensive, has better performance do to its single core/multi threading. Although depends on the games you play.

If your looking into streaming though how is your ISP upload and download though? What type of router (or modem) are you using.

The FX-9590 is just an overprized and overclocked 8350. I will either go for the 8350 and with the 50 bucks you save, you could by a 1Tb mechanical hard driver, or buy a 4790k.
