Ok, so i was wanting to upgrade my pc, then i just figured leave out all the hassle and just buy a new one, so i was looking at this

I know it doesn't have a HDD or an SSD because i'm using one from my old PC
I also know it might need a BIOS Update

All i really want to know is can i use that rig to get games running in high/ultra quality while, lets say livestreaming on twitch.tv with good quality on the video?

Thanks

i would suggest liquid cooling the cpu and overclocking it to 3.7GHz if you plan on livestreaming and stuff whilst gaming

I'd say the corsair H60 would be a good choice, it's affordable and fits in pratically any case

not necessarily, there are many options for cpu cooling, you could even get a heat sink to do the job but liquid cooling is very efficient. with my rig (not overclocked) i swapped to a liquid cooling system and my avg. CPU temps dropped from abt 170 deg. F to around 98 deg. F

they are much cheaper, but no where near as good in terms of performance, it sounds like you are looking to build a pc that can handle whatever you need it to and its nice to keep the temps under control
