I want a budget streaming machine. I want to be able to stream at 720p (or if possible 1080p) @ 60fps. I will be doing the gameplay on an Xbox One and using the Elgato HD60. I want dual monitor display to be able to have expanded desktop view. I need it to be able to run OBS, the elgato software, and a cheap video editing program at one time (minimal video editing/rendering being done). I also want to be able to play Old School RunScape occasionally which is a very lightweight game so shouldn't be a problem. So far I have came up with 2 builds. One at $497 and one at $588. I want to know if build #2 is going to be worth while for the extra $70. Any opinions?

Note: I already have the HDD/SSD and PSU taken care of!

Also, I WILL be expanding/upgrading this build in the future. (ie. better GPU, more ram, etc.)

Budget: I'd like to keep around $500. (Yes I know build 2 is a little above $500).

Build #1:

I would still like more suggestions because I haven't decided on my build yet. I would like all the help I can get.
