I am looking to upgrade my Rig and I am torn between upgrading my CPU to an i7 4790k or to buy another GTX 970 to SLI. My main focuses are streaming regularly and playing some high demand titles, I am wondering what will benefit the overall quality of my stream between these two options. My...

bump.

I have put together a rig that I am looking to purchase in the coming months and was looking for any advice on the build to see if there is anything that can be optimized or traded out entirely. The after market cooler for the CPU is because I have read that it runs at about 85-90 temp under...

so no aftermarket cooling should be required and everything looks good with new power supply and GPU?

Alright so new card I am looking at is Sapphire Radeon R9 290 4GB Tri-X, I am looking into power supply now. Do you feel i5 4690k is overkill on the CPU for the tier of computer ($800 range) or will it work nicely with the r9 290?

I do not have it already so changing is an option

Well the pc must run at higher frames because I stream frequently and need to be able to drop 10+ frames without a noticeable impact on gameplay.

Do you feel Ykki's cpu and gpu combination make for a better performing system?

Yea honestly I did skimp on the PSU but I will look into the xfx550. I could change to the i5-4690k but do you believe the performance will be worth the swap from AMD FX-8320? Thank you for the help

Done. Dropped the cards and replaced with 212, thank you for the help anything else you would recommend?

I am looking to build a new gaming rig and have composed a list of parts on partpicker that I feel would make a very decent rig for the price. This will be my first attempt at building a computer and would like some opinions on the selections I have made, is there anything I should change...
