So my friend helped me out a little bit here but heres the build I came up with.

My goals are to be able to livestream, render video in decent times and play games with higher end graphics (not the highest is needed).

If you have any feedback or changed you would make that might help me save some bucks feel free to help!

I might be wrong, but putting a z97 with a non unlocked CPU is pointless. The case is overpriced/big,

The PSU is not the greatest, in fact you would be fine with 500w with a better brand

Spend less on a MOBO and get a ssd

I know but I wanted a really nice case and it was one of the cheapest I could find and my friend said if I get a mid case I might have to cut some of it to fit the GPU

Still a lot of cases will be able to house that GPU you don't need that big of a case, once you get that case you will know haha

case is stupidly big
get a H440 or a Fractal Design R5
Your friend is clearly an idiot, what mid case doesn't fit a normal sized GPU? because Mid towers are the norm.
Z97 is waste unless you get a 4790K and a decent cooler for a medium overclock
No SSD, i'm ashamed
ok PSU, but could do better

I would get this if it were me

umm.. the mobo was $60, why is it now $233?!!?
this has a more appropriately priced mobo..

For the money you didn't need that huge case and could have got a mid tower that would have plenty space for the GPU and you could add a 240GB SSD or something And you didn't need that PSU you would have been ok with a 500w PSU just a bit overkill and un needed really

Stop spamming. i7 is a waste. Xeon makes more sense. Case is ridiculously large, and probably not even good. PSU is shit. No SSD. Md ranged GPU in an $1100 build, should have an R9 290 or GTX 970 in there. All stuff that I've already told you before though, so stop spamming.

Like I have said many times Im nooby and dont understand half the things u are saying. If u would like to help me more please do but I didnt 100% put this build together and I posted it on here so we could fix it and possibly save me some money.
