This is my first PC build, and I'm putting it together for VTubing. I want enough VRAM and a capable GPU to run Warudo, OBS Studio, and a game at the same time. The most demanding game I expect to play regularly is probably CS:GO, 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 that would make a meaningful difference. The amount of RAM in the current build is about the most I can afford right now, though the motherboard has additional slots for a future upgrade.
I haven't chosen a keyboard yet. I'd like something affordable, black, and possibly with RGB backlighting; I don't need a numpad. I also found a case I really like and would appreciate confirmation that it has suitable compatibility and airflow for the build.
Could someone review the parts list and let me know whether it's sufficient for VTubing, streaming, and gaming? I'd also appreciate advice on whether DDR4 versus DDR5 makes a major real-world difference and whether the selected GPU would handle potentially demanding workloads.

There’s an alternative parts list that costs about $100 less while offering better performance, along with a more reasonable webcam choice. The case you picked should also be compatible with the revised build. One thing I’d reconsider is spending around $150 on a keyboard, since you can get a good black RGB model without going that expensive.
Thanks! Would DDR4 have any major performance disadvantage compared with DDR5 for this kind of setup? Also, would the suggested GPU be suitable for heavier workloads? And just to confirm, is the case I originally chose compatible with the revised parts list?
