Question Gaming/streaming build

[cbrooks13]

I'm about to build my next pc starting next week I hope. I have put together a build sheet. I want to be able to game and stream with it. I play games like GTA 5 (6 when released) and COD. Does this set up look to be ideal for that?

Looking to cap at $2000 for the pc. What do you all think? Do you see any changes I should make?


EDIT: Also will I need a capture card or is that built in somehow to what's already chosen?

What MC store are you shopping at? (for in-stock items)

**(not a "streamer") Capture cards aren't really needed anymore. It all happens in software.

Probably Marietta,GA. Think it's the closest to me

What's your monitor resolution or is a monitor to be included in the budget?

 

[cbrooks13]

I have separate money for that. Will be 1440 min but shooting for a wide 4k

Your build works other than you want to add a 3-pack of 120mm fans to that case or else it's going to be a hotbox and you want DDR5-6000Mhz due to the fact that RAM in your build is slow.

Here's another option which allows you to use Nvidia NVENC to stream with which is as good as it gets in regards to streaming followed by Intel 770 UHD Graphics which happens to be the second best option.

How does that i7 compare to the 7700x? Everything I read was pointing to the 7700x is why I ask.

Also isn't the 20gb 7900xt faster and more stable than the 12gb 4070ti? I'm clueless on alot of this picking. All my knowledge has been from hours and hour and hours of videos on YouTube and reading articles. I like the price of yours better. I just want to make sure I'm going to be able to play and stream at a high fps.

Here is another 1 I came up with going AMD. Don't know if I should go AMD or Intel and AMD or Nvidia 🤦‍♂️. I would prefer the y60 case over the y40 but it wasn't available to choose

a white RGB build. went with the 4070ti cuz as a streamer it would help if you have the best ray tracing performance.

7900X if you want to have many background programs while you game and stream.
