That spec is quite unbalanced to be honest. The Elgato indicates you will be streaming gameplay but you have chosen a very basic GPU and monitor (1080p 75Hz)? Is there a particular reason for that? I ask as we can do much better for you budget (given the spec you listed was £1520 assuming I got everything right when I went through the configurator).

For example, for slightly over the cost of the Intel, we can get you a 1440p 75Hz (miles better than 1080p) system including all the peripherals. This would be a much better system:

It is your choice and I realise there may be limitation in terms of maximum monitor size or specific reasons for the low resolution system. It would also depend on what else the system would be used for beyond what I guess to be gaming and streaming. Of course, if I'm completely wrong on the gaming side then it would require different hardware

Is it worth getting the 550 and saving money elsewhere? Obviously need to see what the budget and needs are as well.
