Needs to stream/game want to be able to play games such as far cry 4 60fps ultra
To clarify i want to be able to record 1080p60fps (shadowplay or somin) i also wanna be able to edit videos. do i need 6 cores to stream(OBS)?.
Thanks in advance

1st option
http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/MxzfZL
(6 cores for streaming and recording, worse gpu)

2nd option:

(better gpu, z97 and ddr3)

3rd option: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/nnzfZL
(980 ti, 8gb ram)

Please improve on the builds or tell me which one to get.
Thanks
 
No you don't need 6 cores to stream.

I would go with the middle build with the better GPU. For what you are doing you really wont notice a difference n the CPUs.

Don't get the CX series PSU though, they are not that good. Get XFX, Seasonic, or EVGA (G2 or B2).

Highly recommend you had Samsung EVO SSD drive for your OS drive (C Drive). The 250gb would be good. You will notice a major difference in OS boot times and program responsiveness and file access with this. The only thing it wont do is give you more FPS in games.
