Hey there! I'm excited to be building my first gaming PC after sticking with consoles for a long time. The purpose of this build is to stream on Twitch, playing games like Valorant, The Finals, Warzone, and Minecraft. My budget is around 2,000 NZD (which is about 1,200 USD). I've put together a list of components for my build, and I'm hoping to get some feedback on cost-saving options or if any parts don't seem ideal for what I plan to do with it. Just a heads up that I'm based in New Zealand, so some parts are harder to find or priced higher than usual. Appreciate any tips you have!

I’d suggest swapping out the case and the SSD in your build. For a more compact option, a mini-tower case might be better, especially given your plan to save costs. Check out the Cooler Master Elite 490 for a solid choice! Also, consider upgrading to a 2TB SSD to ensure you have enough storage for your games and streams.
Thanks for the suggestion! You’re right; I didn’t realize a mid-tower case would be overkill for my setup. It definitely makes sense to go smaller for cost savings.
