[SOLVED] 144hz 1080p gaming + streaming 800$

[thegoodtheorist]

Good day.

My goal is to build a PC for stable 144+ fps in games such as Apex Legends, CS:GO, Overwatch (low settings for all those games) and being able to stream without frame drops under 144 fps or statterings.
Budget: 800$
No peripherals or OS needed.

Also, I currently have GTX 1060 6 gb OC from Gigabyte. Not sure whether it'll be able to fit in a new build with such demands or I should upgrade it right away.

Thanks in advance.

I am thinking about something like this. However, not sure whether ryzen 5 3600 would be able to handle stable 144 fps with streaming.

You may need to adjust some graphic settings in the game but this would pair well for gaming/streaming with that 1060 6gb for 1080P/144hz.

Thank you! Where I live, Ryzen 7 3700X costs about 410 USD currently. Does it really worth it? Or Ryzen 7 2700 will be good enough?

What about the 2700X? The X variants come with better coolers.

I am fine with spending some on a better cooler. The question is whether I would be able to meet requirement of subj.

With Low settings there shouldn't be any issues.
