Gaming/streaming computer build for under 700-800$ US.

[ryan_g20]

Hello, so I am definitely new to building computers never built one and i've always had laptops that are definitely not designed for gaming but I have come to the point where i want to build a nice one. I am currently a streamer of runescape i get quite a bit of lag and dropped frames alot. Currently everytime i go to stream i get dropped frames and the stream crashes. So this new build im planning has to be able to stream runescape, csgo, league of legends also i am looking to have dual monitors but I have those already along with keyboard and mouse. So I want to stream those three said games at middle-high settings realisticly i know probably only mid settings looking for no lag or dropped frames and a steady 50-60fps. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/rVqbRB Is my current build i have picked out and im not sure if itll work for all i have in mind. In short gonna sum it up again i want to stream runescape, csgo, league of legends at mid-high settings getting around 40-60 fps no lag or frame drop while having dual monitors for a budget around 600-800 please don't go over 800 this budget is for the actual computer only no keyboard mouse monitors included i have all peripherals. Also I want an Intel i5 atleast and this is US currency and parts available in the US

do you have to have that mobo

 

[bailojustin]

My suggestion to you sir would be to replace the MOBO, and CPU.
You can go for intel but I think you would get much better performance especially for the price if you decided to use a

AMD FX-8320 Vishera 8-Core 3.5GHz (4.0GHz Turbo) only 149.99 Cheaper then the i5, and not only that but with your Radeon AMD card they will work better together and you can capture the usage of AMD Vision Technology only when you have a amd GPU and CPU. Overall giving better performance and better value.

I have that CPU and a r9 280X 3gb, I can Stream while recording RS, LoL, while if I wanted to have fraps running with max setting no issues.

I would, but the thing is, I did not have the best experience with mail-in rebates which causes me to override any that has rebates. But thank you for the suggestion. OP, you might want to consider what coolcole has said about that.

 

[bailojustin]

Mail in rebates I honestly find as a joke, after you get your item you have to mail back the form and some surveys before the month is over since purchasing it so alot of the times your left with 2 or 3 days and you hope they get it before the rebate dead line

It just depends on how much you want your money i have gotten every rebate on everyone that had it and other than waiting to get it it never was a problem actually filling out a 25 dollar one for my evga 850 g2 right nowthat made the cost of it 115 bucks

Could you provide a parts picker breakdown of what your recomending and maybe your computer specs as well? 😀

Everything here is Compatible and should run well together, especially the cpu and GPU. The case is left up to your discrestion and the reason for the 64GB SSD is a boot drive, If your making a new Comp get a boot drive, Install your windows onto it, then use it as the main drive in sata 0, then just install all games and programs on the Hard drive. this keeps boot times below 20 seconds. My PC with the SSD boots in 14 seconds from the first BIOS beep to me being able to open programs instantly.

The graphics card has plenty of ram to leave you to do whatever you want, such as stream while Photoshopping or whatever you please.

Wow, ill be able to have dual monitors stream any of those games i please with no lags hang ups issues for only 636??

 

[bailojustin]

Oh yes and much more, Good luck maxing it, I stream WoW, LoL, Dota, and also make 1080p video recordings while in the thick of a maxed gpu raid scenario.

First off I would get another Graphics card, of the same, and Crossfire,

after that Ram, I would most likely get another set of compatible ram.

And you can overclock the hell out of the card I linked, Great heat dissipation on it, and the best part is, you most likely wont have to overclock, not till future generations come out. The cpu will do you great for a long time. After everything else I would prob work on the liquid cooling. Just so i can sit there as my cpu idles at 1-3c. Right now my cpu Idles at around 10c-15c full load it goes up to 45C, With the right thermal paste and application you can make a monster with only a few dollars.
