First time building, seeking experience opinions

[namical]

This is my first time building a PC and I just wanted to an some expert opinions on the parts I chose for it.

I wanted to build this system to editing,streaming,and recording game play for some of the newest games on high/highest settings.I have been doing some research for about a week or two and these are the parts I came up with.

It's not bad however you can build something a bit more balanced for the price and essentially better for your streaming/editing. AMD Ryzen will give you better value over your build, also you paired a unlocked CPU with a locked motherboard so you won't be able to overclock to get that extra performance. And for streaming/editing builds you want 16gb of memory.

Minimum supported RAM speed for Core i7-8700K would be DDR4-2666MHz. Anything less will cause performance loss. Higher frequencies can be used for overclocking.

8700k with a B360 makes no sense. Why waste money on an unlocked CPU with a Locked mobo?
Dual channel RAM is better. Do not go single channel.

Much better system at a cheaper price. More RAM (16 gigs in dual channel). A 500 GB SSD and 2 TB HDD as usual. Bigger, quality PSU for a more balanced load when you OC the CPU and GPU. Slightly better case to build in. A Z370 mobo to allow the CPU to OC.

More cores should help you with editing, streaming and recording, which the Ryzen CPU has.

What's going on with 8700K pricing right now? I know they currently have their supply chain limited by 10nm delays, but $400 is a bit much, especially considering that the 9000-series CPUS are supposed to be coming very soon, with the i7-9700K and i9-9900K likely launching within a matter of weeks. If you are looking for a CPU in this performance range, and don't need it immediately, it might be worth waiting a bit for more information on those. Supposedly Intel intends on announcing them on October 9th, though it's hard to say when they will be readily available. The 9700K will apparently have 8-cores/8-threads (no Hyperthreading) while the 9900K should have 8-cores/16-threads, and cost around $100 more. Both should have higher stock boost clocks than an 8700K, though it will have to be seen how trading SMT for two more physical cores in the 9700K will affect performance in heavily threaded tasks.

Alternately, if you have no plans to overclock, you might also consider the locked i7-8700 (non-K), currently just $310 at newegg. It offers the same number of cores and threads as the 8700K, and boosts to the same clocks with all cores active, or just 100MHz less than the 8700K for fewer active cores, making stock performance very close between the two. It also comes with a bundled cooler, though you will probably want to get a tower cooler anyway, as it won't be able to boost to its full potential on the included one. Of course, the CPU can't be overclocked, but it is currently priced $90 less.

No idea. In my country, prices for the 8700k are exorbitant from the start, so we really do not notice the difference if it increases.

becuase of intel not able to switch to 10 nm chips they ran out of fab space for all of there products. it going to take other fabs a long time to get up to speed to help intel with there shortages. if your in the us look at micro center combo deals.

 

[cryoburner]

if your in the us look at micro center combo deals.

It doesn't sound like they're in the US. And even if they were, MicroCenter only has 25 locations across the country, meaning most people won't have one nearby. I think the closest one to me is a few hundred miles (around 500km) away. : P
