Starting a new build project is in the works – need assistance?
I'm planning to assemble a top-tier gaming PC capable of handling live streaming. I'm still in the research phase and would appreciate your insights on the components listed below, as well as suggestions for improvements or if any part is unnecessary.
I'm based in the United States and am aiming to keep costs under 2K. I don’t have a preferred retailer yet, as this is my first build and I’m new to the process.

I’d prefer a quiet build but it’s not essential. Most importantly, why am I making this upgrade?
I’m tired of playing on consoles and want to dive into PC gaming. This has never been my first build either.
Welcome to the forums, newcomer! Consider formatting your thread with details from this discussion; *How to Ask for New Build or Upgrade Advice*. Initially, it's important to acknowledge where appropriate respect is owed—this adaptation comes from the Animal's *How To Ask For New Build Advice* Sticky. I developed it since many users are currently seeking upgrade guidance both here and on the CPU forums, and I believe... forums. Based on your build listed, adding a PCPartPicker link will help the community easily replace components or identify any major concerns in your setup. Also, providing your location, preferred purchasing site, and budget for the project can serve as important guidelines for this build.
You're looking for an ATX 3.0 PSU suitable for your RTX 40XX graphics cards because of the adapter. The dual tower CPU cooler may struggle with RGB RAM due to height constraints, and the larger SSD might be a concern. Could you share your location, budget, and monitor resolution?

It should support playing all games such as Apex and Call of Duty while livestreaming. Once you have all the components, you’ll know what else you’ll need to assemble. Thanks for your help!
The cooler style at Thermalright coolers, such as the peerless assassin, seems to have a great alternative named the phantom spirit. I own the peerless assassin on my 12600kf and am really satisfied with it.
