For video streaming, just about any setup will do so long as you have Gigabit LAN, HDMI and decent wireless.

You might want to add in a GPU (for gaming) and HDD.

You might want to consider an Intel setup instead of AMD as the latter tends to run hotter.

One more thing, the casing is mini-ITX which is a very small form factor. The motherboard is ATX which is way too big for the case.

I don't think so. Firstly if he's going haswell (it's cheaper) haswell is actually known to be hotter.
I have a 7850k that ran 55C tops on the stock heatsink. ;)
Compare that with 70-80C on stock heatsink from a i5-4460 on the copper core heatsink :D

lol, i can always sell away certain part, but not changing whole set.

I would say with modern games (especially the new ones) you will appreciate extra cores. Even if the two extra cores are a bit down on power.
If you already have it then ok. If you don't have you can go for a i3-6100 + H110 mobo (You'll have to be exact with the ram on the other hand)
or G3258 + H81 ITX mobo and overclock the CPU a bit.
Or a Athlon X4 860K if you can find, those are better for dGPU usage. A 7870k by itself is quite lame for actual gaming.

Lastly if you have already bought the parts don't ask around here. Confirm plus chop kena flame.

Bodoh! you specified a DDR4 part for a DDR3 motherboard. WTF?
Secondly Skylake must use DDR3L.
Secondly the iGPU must use dual channel or else it will suffer 20-30% penalty. That is for DDR4-2133.

The CM Hyper T4 cannot fit into the Core V1.
The power supply is overkill too. Your computer's power consumption will be very inefficiently.

since you so rich, i don't think you will care.

Hiii, no idea where u get the part of me being "rich"

anyway as mentioned, im totally noob in this and here i am trying to learn from you guys.

Eh i think CM hyper T4 should fit as according to other online build guide for Core V1.

and hmm.....how much PSU should i buy instead? Thanks!

Sorry TS, borrow your thread.
Have a noob question, going to pick up a Asus B150-Pro gaming MOBO, can I use back Kingston DDR3 1600 4Gx2 which I was using on my z77 mobo? Or I need to buy new ddr3L ram? Pls enlighten, thanks.
