i was on the pc builder site and it gave me this build for graphic design, but would it also be good for gaming and possibly streaming? it'd mainly be for minecraft, but i wasn't too sure if it would work for that and graphic design programs.

Hey Cait,
Yes that build would be suitable for your workloads. Is we often say these days, it's advised to be on the lookout for a better / cheaper GPU, though, as the RX 560 is quite low-tier and heavily price-inflated currently. You would usually get e.g. a GTX 1660 Super or even RTX 2060 for about that same price, and those GPUs have much higher performance. But that's just how the current market situation is.
