Building first Gaming pc. Need help!
Post Body

What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games or programs you will be using.

Wanting to stream on twitch.tv with at least 720p, but 1080 is preferred. Will be using OBS. Planning to play League of Legends and probably pick up GTA V.

What is your maximum budget before rebates/shipping/taxes?

$800-$1000.

When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.

I am planning to buy it in steps, easier to afford for me this way. So big deals don't matter, but rather quality parts.

What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? (Tower/OS/monitor/keyboard/mouse/etc)

I have a monitor and mouse, but need everything else.

Which country (and state/province) will you be purchasing the parts in? If you're in US, do you have access to a Microcenter location?

Canada

If reusing any parts (including monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse/etc), what parts will you be reusing? Brands and models are appreciated.

LG Monitor, Logitech G600 Mouse

Will you be overclocking? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line? CPU and/or GPU?

No

Are there any specific features or items you want/need in the build? (ex: SSD, large amount of storage or a RAID setup, CUDA or OpenCL support, etc)

I'm thinking of doing a small SSD to put the OS on and a 1-2TB HDD. Open to suggestions.

Do you have any specific case preferences (Size like ITX/microATX/mid-tower/full-tower, styles, colors, window or not, LED lighting, etc), or a particular color theme preference for the components?

I was thinking of this case. RAIDMAX Viper GX ATX-512WBG Black/Green Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case... But it's just the one I found in Newegg that wasn't too expensive and I liked. Interested in an LED case though.

Do you need a copy of Windows 7 or 8.1 included in the budget? If you do need one included, do you have a preference for one or the other?

Need OS, no big preference, haven't used Windows 8 yet.
