I need opinions on if I need to change anything or if everything is fine for what I'll be doing. I'll be streaming on Twitch and also streaming games such as Rainbow Six Siege, Call of Duties, etc... First Person Shooters. I know I don't have a great Graphics card but I just need to know if this would be compatible and reliable for what I'll be doing. And maybe make a future upgrade later on. I didn't add any of the extra things such as Headset, mouse, and keyboard.

That is terrible and would be a huge waste of money. AM3+ makes less than no sense. GTX 1050 is absolute trash for a "900" system, regardless of currency. 27" monitor for 1080p will look pretty damn ugly. Any larger than 24" for 1080p doesn't make sense IMO, PPI is too small.

Also, no mention of what specific PSU it is. Likely terrible quality.

If you want us to recommend we need to know what you need so answer these.

Budget?
Aesthetics? (LEDs, color schemes, panels)
Overclocking?
What games other then COD/R6S?
Do you need a monitor?
Do you need any peripherals?

Just look at the post. I posted the build, just asking what would you replace and if so what with? There is no budget, I am going off if I already bought this build. But if you need one then just go off of my total I put in the post.

"If" you were to buy it which you shouldn't you're getting shagged for the price. Case is alright, but not worth the price. The CPU cooler is not needed at all. AM3+ is outdated now. no need for a ~$90 GPU in a $900 build. DVD writer lol. This seems like a Cyberpower PC so the PSU is likely of shit quality. But in reality you are paying ~$900 for something that is barely worth ~$400 aside from the monitor in reality.

What would i change? everything.

Mitochondria wrote Case is alright, but not worth the price. The CPU cooler is not needed at all.

The case is trash lmao. The cooler isn't really unnecessary but an air cooler would be a better option than a 120mm AIO.

Mitochondria wrote AM3+ is outdated.

+1 these points.

OP- IF you were to buy this, you'd be wasting a lot of money. Like I said, for all of the points I already made. IF you bought this and wanted to change it for a comfortable experience, you'd probably want a better GPU, you'd definitely want a better CPU, which means new mobo, RAM, and CPU. The case would work, but it's trash. The PSU is likely horrific quality. Plus it's going to suck for streaming.

You'd be better off just, you know, not buying it at all.

Mitochondria asked you those questions because you need to give us more information if you want us to help you.

We need to know your budget, and more importantly, currency. Could be AUD, NZD, CAD, USD, GBP, Rupees, etc etc.

For some of the parts listed under Amazon, is there another place I can find those? I do not use Amazon.
