Hey,
I'm planning on building a budget PC for YouTube/Twitch and I need help. I've done hours and hours of research with gain in information, however with a lack of money it limits it.
I heard my recommendation is Intel i7, Rx 470 graphic card and that's about it.
In addition need to know about case, power supply, Fans (non-liquid) Ram (8vs16), hard drive.

Motherboard, Proccessor, coolers and graphic cards is my main problem.
Please supply links for purchasing the products and refer to price as its a budget. Hopefully it can run any game with 60fps 1080p.
Also, I would like results.
Including whether I should over clock or not. Thanks

The G4560 is not just a dual core, it has hyperthreading so is basically an i3. For budget gaming builds its does brilliantly. Ok its not as good as an i5 but its a great starting setup to drop in an i5/i7 later when budget allows. Just Google some benchmarks and you will see how good it is for the money.

As for Ryzen 5 we need to wait for real benchmarks. Anyone claiming one is better than the other is a fan boy, we need real world benchmarks to decide this and they don't exist.
You're not going to get an i7 with a £600 budget. Maybe £900.

£500, and still needs case and hard drive(s). I would grab a cheap case and try to find a deal on a ~250GB SSD.

Firstly, with the dual cord my PC can't do anything. Id rather get i5 or AMD equivalent of i5 or i7
Secondly the motherboard you picked is a micro ATX. So it's not the size I want.
Thirdly, the power supply is too low. I need at least 600W
Lastly, count Windows 10 off as I found a cheap solution on getting it.

Again, it's a micro ATX motherboard.
Secondly, I heard about the AMD Ryzen 5 and that it surpasses i5 so I will think about that.
Power supply, at least 600W
And the other guy mentioned 16Gb so I will think about that

Other than that it's a good guide.

THANKS!

dunno y u insist on a atx mobo, and yeah since the gaming pro has only 2 slots, i included a 1x8gb for future upgrade options.
unless u r gonna crossfire, 450w is enough. even with overclocking.
bearing these in mind, if wanna go for atx mobo n a quality 600w psu, its a good idea to stretch ur budget by 50 bucks.
 
ITX/ATX/MATX are more expensive and beyond reach of that budget. You will have to sacrifice performance to accommodate them, which is not recommended. Also your power draw from these builds is not even 350w, why do you want 600w. This is the best you can get for that budget.
