My Gaming PC [Full List]

[pixiedust]

How does this look for a gaming PC that I plan to game AND stream from? I just got all of my parts gathered up and saved it to a NewEgg wish list until i'm ready to order.

Do you have any suggestions or criticisms before I go ahead and spend over 2000 on this thing? I really want to make sure I haven't made any mistakes.

Thanks in advance for your help! I really want this thing to be a beast that will last me a long time.

on the cpu cooler the evo 212 is aq very hard air cooler to get on. cooler like the h7 have easyer cooler bracket that works. on the ssd if you have some extra funds go for the faster m2 pro ssd. on the gpu i removed it in a few weeks the pascal gpu will be out. your better off going with the newer units.

That PSU is way overkill. You'd be more than fine with a 650w.

If the pricing in canada for the 5820k is close to the 6700, I would go with the 5820k. 2 more cores means massively more performance.

The evo 212 is not hard to get on. I would not recommend a CPU cooler based solely on how easy it is to mount either way.

Unless you are also going to edit/stream etc.. It's a little waste for a gaming PC. I7 6700K would do no good than a i5 6600k in gaming, 1000G2 is also overkill,even if you SLI the card in future.

But speaking of how good the PC is, it's pretty nice build for 1080p and 1440p

I forgot to mention that I will also be streaming. Should I go to 850W?

I would say yes to a good quality 850w PSU. Nvidia Cards are more efficient,a 1000w PSU is simply overkill here.

Is the 5820k better than the 6700? It's about a $40 difference.
