I put this parts list together and am looking for some advice. https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/custom-pc-builder-intel.aspx?load=282dee36-2260-4d3f-95af-699bd2ef15ca

Greetings @dthdealer_13, this seems like a fine build!  I noticed you added an Elgato card as well.  Is this build going to be aimed for livestreaming?

@AlexS Thank you for taking a look and yes i have been wanting to try the streaming, so i thought i would throw that in there.

@dthdealer_13 So for Elgato, I'm sure you know this would primarily be used for capturing external devices like a gaming console or perhaps another PC.  Was this the objective for adding it on?

And of course!  I use an Elgato and it works very well but I also haven't been doing any console gaming with a lot of newer titles being released with crossplay support.  I mainly keep it aside in case I ever build a dedicated streaming PC. 

The only thing I would suggest in changing this build is the cooling option for the processor.  For an i9-10900K, you want to have very sufficient cooling for the processor and do not believe the RedDragon in your build may do the trick overtime.  

Heatseak/fan Combo:  Noctua is probably going to the best option but will raise the price of the overall build.  https://www.microcenter.com/product/479166/noctua-nh-u14s-cpu-cooler  These heatsinks are fairly bulky so fair warning.

If you want something a little more uniform (and quieter), then jump over to liquid cooling.  Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML240
