I'm looking to build my first computer. I'm intending to use it for gaming and streaming. My laptop doesn't handle streaming at all but handles all the games I play. I'm looking to play and stream LoL, WoW, Hearthstone and maybe some others. Looking to get into some shooters for fun (CS:GO) and explore other computer games. I have a budget of around $800. Is there anything I can build that will work for what I want? I'm not sure on how to go about building the components I will need and want.

You are picking an unlocked cpu and you go with a really low end motherboard, you need a Z97 there. The gpu might have been on sale as some other parts but apparently not anymore.
So if you want an unlocked setup this would be the way to go, unfortunately you'd have to invest a little more:
