Good Evening All,

I've been trying to put together a decent rig to use.

Approximate Purchase Date: Sometime in the next 6 months. (i'll be saving and working towards paying for this build)

Budget Range: I was trying to spend 1,000 to 2,000 on a Mid to high range gaming/streaming rig

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Primary use will be for gaming, (games like anthem, division 2, destiny 2, etc.), I will also be streaming to twitch at the same time. In the down time I'd be creating video guides for said games.
Are you buying a monitor: Not yet, I will need 1 more monitor at some point


This is a whole new rig from the ground up.

Do you need to buy OS: Yes


Preferred Website(s) for Parts: I don't have a preferred site. Whatever warrants the best value i'll use.

Location: City, State/Region, Country - I'm in Richmond, VA. USA.

Parts Preferences: I have no brand loyalty lol.

Overclocking: Maybe

SLI or Crossfire: Yes

Your Monitor Resolution: Great question I don't have the answer to currently. I have a asus monitor 22.5'

Additional Comments: This is my first build... I'm looking for feedback on where I could've went for more value in parts. I've used PCpartpicker to make sure the parts should be compatible.

ANY AND ALL FEEDBACK IS APPRECIATED.

Sorry, took me a while to find the reply here. Ignore the PM I sent you.

Thanks for the heads up on the Cooler.. I'll start looking for another. Do you have any recommendations? Any other thoughts?

I figured it would be a suitable amount of RAM to Stream and Game at the same time. If I can cut back and still be fine, that'd be awesome =D.

I'm afraid I have limited knowledge on CPU coolers but i'll dig deeper into it.

My logic behind the 1070... is I probably won't play anything in higher than 1080p nor will I be playing anything in higher than 1080p. (I don't have a 4k monitor and idk how much use I'd get out of a 4k 32inch monitor sitting a 2 feet away lol) I figured they 1070 is the midrange for 1440, which would leave me ample room to play games on High/Ultra at 1080p and not lose frames.

Kinda what I was thinking about when I decided on that. But if you think it's something I should think about in consideration of future-proofing. I'll spend more time on it.

Wow, Thanks for taking the time to do this. I really appreciate it. I suppose it's safe to say 32gb ram was overkill?
