@MrWilson
wow thats really good! would you maybe be able to configure this to be around 1800 - 2000, it looks like a really good build but i want to see a few options aha! sorry for being a pain

You can always add extra RAM down the road if you find it is necessary...the Photo Editing shouldn't require too much and the gaming/streaming will depend on what streaming software is being used etc

goes right over my head.. but whats the major dif between the i5 and i7 vs the ryzen 7? the editing and streaming isnt in major use tbh mostly mainstream gaming
id value your opinion on the processor thanks!
