Did I do good? Will be putting this together myself for every day use like streaming and gaming. Stuff like Pubg, CS:GO and ASSFAGGOTS.

You want a 1070 for 1440p. you might at well get 16gb ram, and why 2 ssd? Just Get 1 500gb and a 1tb for gaymes. Just go ryzen, you won't need an aftermarket cooler if you go with a 1600/1700 Also >>>/pcbg/

swap one of those SSDs for a HDD of much higher capacity

if you want 60fps at medium at very least for 1440p I did have a wishlist going you could look at. for the price and performance compared to say an i5 7600k that I am also considering this should give you bang for the buck and have headroom for streaming your vidya.

side note, 8400 might be ok for streaming but an i7 or ryzen 5 would be better instead, idk watch ltt or some shit since you're young :^)

Buy a prebuilt it's cheaper. You can get a GTX 1080 and 16GB DDR4 1 x SSD and 1 x HDD etc for 1500-1600 bucks.
