[Build Ready] Am I getting the most out of my build?
GIVE ME YOUR THUMBS!
And when I say give me your thumbs, I want them pointing up haha. I want a thumbs up for the wonderful community that I'd like to call BaPC. My budget is around 800 and this computer will be primarily used for gaming. I have to buy all my stuff on Newegg because my state doesn't have any Microcenter. I am what you would call a first time builder, but people have been saying virgin builder (which is pretty weird), so I guess that works too. And here it is:

Extra Notes: Do you think I would be able to play games and stream at the same time on this computer? If I want to add a dual monitor later on, should I just get the same excat monitor or something smaller?
