Question good $750 PC

[512-Bit]

I have $750, and this will be my first time building a gaming PC, but I don't know what parts I should get to get the most performance out of my money.
I have a few part lists on PCPartpicker, but I don't know which ones are good and which ones aren't
Here are some:

$750 1060 6gb Ryzen 5 build

I have a small youtube channel that I upload videos to, and sometimes stream.

What I need:
WiFi
low bottleneck
Parts strong enough to stream and for slight video editing

Here is my take on it:

Same CPU, same board, 16GB of DDR4 3000 (instead of 8GB or slower unmatched pairs) and replaced the GTX1070 with a GTX1660Ti (A loss of a few percent performance in most titles, but a small savings), Nicer power supply, and a larger SSD.

If you wanted to prioritize differently, you could also change out the R5-1600 for an R5-2600 and keep the smaller SSD, or upgrade the motherboard (maybe go ATX, and get a larger case) If you do stream, you might end up wanting more room for upgrades inside the chassis and the slots to do it.

Ugh, the Seasonic just went back to $75 for me, whole build comes to closer to $800. Gonna have to seriously watch the sales for equitable parts, like a R5 1600 is currently $119, but I doubt that will last long before going back to regular pricing.

How about the mini ITX list, is there any way I could improve on it?

I was thinking more high frequency ram and a power supply with black cables

You could make basically the same changes. Though if the power supply is out (it is $75 with a $25 MIR), but many of the components in the list are also Newegg MIR, so it would be quite a bit more up front, but you would get a lot of it back.

I would forgo the hard drive, wait for the rebates, and then use that to buy one. Maybe even splurge on an M.2 drive so that you don't take up any volume in the chassis.

There is also one cheaper ITX motherboard, but I didn't like that some of the minor power phases didn't have heatsinks. Not the end of the world. On the plus side, X370 board is cheaper than the B450 board you had picked out. Also a nice Gigabyte Aorus motherboard that is $120.

Kinda partial to the nzxt H200 myself, the H200i if I was using something like a nzxt Kraken x52, that way take advantage of the software for all the lighting.

Streaming and video editing should all benefit from a stronger CPU versus GPU. This is what I would build:

Like the other builds, you would need to add a Wifi card.

Is there a noticable difference between the r5 1600 and the 2600
And I watched a few videos and they all said don't get the 1660, just get a 1060 6 GB

You won't see such a difference in frame rates though, because they are using a much higher end GPU and you will be GPU limited. You can always lower your settings though, but if you are CPU limited there is nothing you can do to improve it. The higher end CPU will help with video editing and streaming, though.


Well, the 1660 is better than the 1060, but of course, not as good as the 1660ti.
