Hi guys, I need some advices on my new desktop setup. My budget is around 1.6K to 1.8K for CPU only, since my monitor is still working well.

Functions of the CPU will for gaming (eg, ffxiv) and work. Any Asus setup for this?

Any nice looking and good casing to recommend as well? Not too bulky since I have space constraint.

If I want to do some streaming via twitchtv, will I require a higher setup?

Thanks in advance.

I am a live streamer as well, most important for good quality is your upload speed. I stream normally 4mbps for upload. If hardware good can do 40-60 fps without good upload also no point.
