Theres plenty of i5s more powerful than i7s. You are going to have to be way more specific if you want to help people like this.

Different coolers and overclocks. Just read a bunch of reviews and find out which one is the best. The non-reference cards use different cooling methods than the reference cards, so you could see a different heat profile depending on which card you get. If you ever wanna go SLI, make sure to get the reference cards though. The reference cards blow air out the back, while the non-reference cards blow air down in your case
You're right, but OP said he wasn't overclocking.
With that said, OBS won't hog your CPU. Therefore you can get any i5 and stream.
Instead of the seagate barracuda 2tb:
(look for amazon link, 10 bucks cheaper but i can't link it for some reason):
Seagate Desktop HDD ST2000DM001 2TB 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive-Newegg.com
Saves you 24 dollars, dependable drive
Put that into upgrading the motherboard to:
MSI Z97 PC MATE ATX LGA1150 Motherboard (Z97 PC MATE) - PCPartPicker
Will allow you to overclock down the line. When you have 30/40 to spare dollars pick up a hyper 212 evo, boost your cpu significantly.

I managed to buy a 1060 at the suggested price too. 
Gonna be a good upgrade from this POS I bought when I was rocking 1440x900.

So what games you buying the PC community on here is growing. Just list your titles.
What games you buying?
Buying?
But nah, GTA 5, CoD, Battlefield, games like DayZ, and various sports titles. I'll probably get into whatever is hot.
not bad at all. i would advise you to get another drive. a SSD (preferably a Sony EVO.) make sure it isnt less than 500gb. but not more than 1tb. this will be the drive you run windows off of and any of your audio/video programs. any audio filters, effects, vsti's, samples, etc, same with video effects, etc. will be placed on your barracuda drive. but the main programs will be ran off the SSD along with windows.
you should always have windows on one drive(not virtual but real). and your storage on another jussssst in case something happens and you need to do a full wipe. you wont have to wipe all your stuff. just the programs.

What part of the PC would make videos render faster? CPU? My current laptop takes a hour to render a 4 minute video.
