I'm putting together my first PC, mainly for VTubing. I want enough VRAM and a capable graphics card to run Warudo, OBS Studio, and a game at the same time. The most demanding game I expect to play is probably Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, but I'd still like some headroom for more intensive workloads.
I'm trying to keep the cost as low as possible, although I can spend more on the GPU if it would make a meaningful difference. The RAM is close to the most I can afford right now, but the motherboard has additional slots for a future upgrade.
Could someone review my parts list and let me know whether the components are compatible and suitable for this use case? I'm also looking for a relatively inexpensive black keyboard, preferably with RGB lighting; I don't need a number pad. I found a case I really like as well, so I'd appreciate confirmation that it has adequate space and airflow for the build. This is a lot of money for me, so I'd really like to avoid wasting it on a poor choice.

There’s a cheaper parts direction that should provide better overall performance, and it avoids including a low-quality or outdated webcam. The case you chose should be suitable for the proposed hardware as long as the listed component clearances and airflow are confirmed. For the keyboard, I wouldn’t spend anywhere near $150—there are plenty of decent compact black RGB models for much less.
Thanks! Would choosing DDR4 instead of DDR5 make a major difference for this kind of setup, and would the graphics card still handle heavier VTubing and streaming workloads? Also, just to confirm, does the case I picked work with the suggested build?
