Hello again Reddit! I've done plenty of work with this build as of late and have been trying to come up with the cheapest setup for streaming games at mid-high quality.
Any suggestions before I stick with it?
-EDIT- Motherboard to Z77 RAM to 1333
-UPDATE- 7/18 - A few changes to parts such as Monitor, PSU, and RAM.
