Best option for gaming PC build.

[bethp1819]

Hi, I was planning on building a gaming PC but am not 100% confident I am going to build it correctly. I found this website and they said they could build what I think is a similar PC for a bit extra, do you think I would have the same result? I want to be able to stream using it.

It's solid but that's it a 'little extra' , it's about £380 more.

But yeah you'll have no issues streaming with a 2600x & a 1070ti.

So you think it'll be worth the risk of building it myself? I honestly don't know much about PC's.

Building is really easy if you take your time, read the manuals and review a few online guides/videos first.

I’m not sure if they still do it but scan.co.uk used to offer an insurance you could buy when purchasing components that covers user error when installing. It used to be about £40 on a £1k system from memory.

Ok just looked. When you go to the scan.co.uk checkout there is a scan protect option. Other companies may do the same and I haven’t noticed.

You save money & get your own full component choices if you build yourself.

If I were buying custom prebuilt cyberpower would not be first choice.

That specced with a 500gb ssd & a 2tb hdd comes to £1325.

That's £150 less although is a drop to the Ryzen 2600 rather than the 2600x.

Overclockers do a full 3 year collect/return warranty whereas cyberpower don't.

Ok, thanks. I think I'm going to build myself and hope I get it right! I did read this article about the ryzen 2600x which claims that the i5 8400 is better, would you agree with this for streaming?

For streaming the 2600x will be hands down better.
