Build me a gaming/streaming PC PLZ!

[tcprix]

Hey! How the heck are ya?! Great! It's Friday! Looking for someone to build me a PC capable for gaming/streaming. I usually would give a budget but this time I'm going to ask for something a little different as in just make the computer sufficient enough to complete the tasks I intend to do with it.

I want it to have the capability of streaming most games but don't want to pay like 600$ for a GPU. I just want something so that when I stream it will look good in 1080p. I would like to be able to record my gameplay (shadowplay perhaps) and the ability to play music and browse the internet (youtube, etc.) all while streaming. I would also prefer to have most of my stuff on a SSD for faster loading times.

I don't have a ton of money but I'm more curious to what some of you will build for smooth operation and performance opposed to building on a budget. Final note, I'M IN CANADA

Thank you, enjoy your Friday and keep on keepin' on.

Depending whether you're 'stuck' on nVidia for ShadowPlay. AMD has Rapt/Gaming Evolved, and you can have an R9 390 for under $400CAD.

An i5 should be more than sufficient but if you plan to do a bunch of extra 'stuff' while gaming the additional threads on an i7 or Xeon would likely result in more seamless use. The i5-6600K sets you back around $300CAD....

You could look at a Xeon E3-1231 V3 for $338 CAD (4 core + HT), although you'd be limited to DDR3 and no OCing. The comparable i7 today (6700/6700K) would set you back at least +$100 over the Xeon.

Cpu:i5 6500
Motherboard:msi b150m night elf
RAM:2x8gb corsair vengeance LPX ddr4 2133mhz
PSU:SEASONIC M12II evo 620 watt
HDD:seagate barracuda 1tb 7200rpm
SSD:adata sp550 120gb/240gb(240gb is like 20$ more)
GPU:ZOTAC gtx 970 amp omega core/msi gtx 1070(choose gtx 970 if your budget is not enough or save money and go with gtx 1070)

The reason i go with 16gb is future proofing and since you record stuffs and using twitch while gaming at the same time uses lots of ram.

The gpu is either gtx 970 or gtx 1070,i would recommend you to save money for gtx 1070 if your budget is not enough
