http://pcpartpicker.com/p/m8NZP6Just like I sent you in a PM, this build will stream fine. You can always spend more money for unnecessary upgrades like getting a different case or power supply, but it won't impact your actual performance. The only thing not in the build is an SSD which won't even make you able to stream better, it will just decrease load times for your OS and programs.
Just proving that you can get an i5 and 970 for under $1000. You won't get any noticeable performance gain between and i5 and an i7 assuming equal clock speeds while you're doing anything you want to do. The only reason to get an i7 is if you're going to be professionally editing whatever videos you may make. I'm not talking about silly little side stuff like adding a Windows Slideshow intro to the movie.
Also, a 980 will not give you as much of a glaring performance upgrade as some people are trying to make you believe. It performs a whole
UP TO 20% better than a 970 while costing 70% more.
