Gaming/Streaming rig for daughter

[CSJunkie]

Ok my daughter is into pc gaming and plays BF4 ,CS and CS:GO. Now she wants me to build her a computer that she can use for gaming and to stream with. What would do the job for her without breaking my wallet? Ddont want to go over $1000 on hrr build but want to give her good fps and good streaming quality.

Current system:
Amd fx 6320
Asrock mobo with 970 chipset
8 gigs ddr3 1600 ram
Msi 6970 lightning gpu
Antec 750 psu
Wd 1tb hdd
Windows 10pro

Ok so would the I7 or xeon be a better pick? Trying to pick between barty and turkey builds.

Barty's is better if you put your 290x in it, Turkey's is better if you're not going to put your 290x in it.

It's a trade off, the i7 I linked is better than the Xeon if you look simply at performance facts, but the Xeon build is a good bit cheaper.

Either would serve the intended purpose well, but it's entirely your call what you want to spend. Both would have a similar lifespan, you'd likely be a minimum of two generations in future before either build would need a CPU upgrade (GPU would need upgraded depending on the needs of a specific game).

Both would be amazing builds, and a ridiculous improvement over your daughters current setup, it really boils down to how much you want to spend & whether you want to give her your GPU.

The i7 build hinges on you being prepared to give her the 290x, whereas turkey's stands on it own & has no variables to it.

If money were no object, I'd take the i7 personally. If you were doing this while maintaining a budget, the Xeon would make the most sense.

Thanks for all the input i will post the rig here once its built. think i may go over budget and go I7 with a FuryX
After all its daddy's little girl

Depending on the model of the Cooler Master PSU, as there's only a couple of good ones (the V850 Gold comes to mind as a good one).

It might be a better option to grab two new PSUs (the EVGA SuperNOVA B2 750W doesn't cost much, and more than sufficient to power your daughters new rig)

that 290x can run very hot, and will use a lot of power.
you will need a case with good airflow, but in the end its cheaper than buying a new graphics card.

about the build , i don't have any experience with that solid state drive.
But i think it would be better to get a high quality evo 250gb, which is really enough and is the best quality u can get.

- quality ssd , very reliable.
- the monitor is 144 hz, has got free sync(will get rid of all screen tearing which would get you out of the game.
it has got an ips panel ( STUNNING COLOURS and all colours will be the same no matter from what viewing angle)
its in 2k.

- fans to replace your cpu fans i heard people say they make too much noise.
since u cannot view the inside of the box while gAming, these are the best 120mm fans, most air and most silent.

i haven't inspected your case yet if u need additional fans.

edit whoops u already got the best screen rofl I'm too nuub
