Hi all,

I am looking to upgrade and pass my current system on to my nephew, it is i5 gtx 780 build. I play WOW/WOTs/HOTS Overwatch and ESO online, might play Fortnight and PUBG, I would like to move up from 1080p if possible and move into a new monitor 34" curved. I also may want to stream on twitch, I have 4K cdn for a budget, can you guys help put something together?

Thanks, BGB

I completely agree with Hellfire's recommendation of a monitor. As a user of the Acer Predator X34 myself, I must say that it presents a LOT of issues when it comes to streaming on twitch, chiefly rescaling issues, blackboxing etc.
Something like this...

Streaming, you want a 2700x, over an 8700k. Streaming, the 2700x is superior.

For gaming, the 960evo is a waste of money. Games simply aren't taking advantage of the extra speed, for faster loading, sadly.
