Is This spec OK for gaming and for a beginner streamer?

[Fly123]

So i have spent some time configuring this spec but i was wondering if this is good enough for 1080p gaming on most of the relevant games and for streaming. I'm also open to any changes that could decrease the price without affecting the performance. Also i will be buying a 75hz monitor to complement the 60hz monitor i have selected here.

Just straight from this I notice many things wrong with it, one of them definitely being the storage - 256GB is definitely not enough, do you have extra storage devices you'll be adding when you receive your PC?
You could also save £100 by transferring a Windows license from a previous device. You've also gone for 2400MHz RAM which is quite slow nowadays, what can you push your budget to? Removing the BullGuard anti-virus can save you a bit too, Windows Defender is good enough.

I'll let others comment on this also, they'll know a lot more than me

I would strongly advise that you take a read of this and answer the questions it raises, as @TomBerry rightly says, all sorts of problems with the build above

Could get a more refined build from someone else but somthing like that I would go for for a good starter 1080p build

Yeah external HDD's are connected by USB generally which is a really really slow read and write format compared to the internal SATA format. I wouldn't recommend doing this for anything other than storing videos, pictures, music, etc.

I wouldn't play a game from an external that sounds like it would be a terrible experience
