http://pcpartpicker.com/p/fWjDK8 I want to record to youtube and edit videos.
Twice the CPU threads for recording/rendering, with a larger SSD, and double the RAM
an unlocked i5 generally isn't worth it unless you're going to use a 144hz display and want to max every game for 144fps for some reason
and the 390 is a better card overall than the 970, potentially better DX12/Vulkan support, in addition to free-sync displays costing less than G-sync displays
