Need a little help building new PC

[chris96993]

Hey any help is very appreciated since im not familiar with current tech. My budget is around $1000, all im trying to do is build a pc that can handle Fortnite well while streaming it (nothing special, just for friends and a handful of viewers)

CPU: Im assuming for streaming a decent processor is needed. I found one for $300, let me know what you think: Intel Core i7-7700K 4 cores 4.2 GhZ

GPU: Need help here, know nothing about good Gpus. The one i currently have is Sapphire Radeon R9 270X 2GB Dual-X and ive been told its underwhelming. Cap out at around 120 fps

SSD: Evo 250GB

Mobo: Im planning on getting any cheap one that supports my graphics card, not sure if the $100 + ones are necessary for me

RAM: 16gb

If there are any components that need emphasis since ill be streaming please let me know. Case, psu and OD shouldnt be hard to find for cheap. Thanks for reading, please give any input you can, and have a great day!

What resolution and hz are you targeting?

For the CPU, there have been a couple of ticks since the 7700k and that price range now houses the 8700k (and 9700Ks are available for some additional dough). But for streaming you may find AMD's new Ryzen 7 1800x to be an excellent choice.

GPU: If @1080p 60fps the RX580 of the GTX 1060 6GB version (not the three) are excellent. If you are targeting 1080p 120 hz+ you may want the GTX 1070ti.

OMG, all the parts you have mentioned are overpriced and outdated.
Here is a build that will be good for your needs of gaming and streaming with this budget:

Yes, you will see a very good improvement in performance compared to your old system.
Accpecelly in streaming.

Not sure about the resolution,1080 seems great for my budget, and i have a 144hz monitor. Going to look up those parts now

Thanks Adam, and if i have a few hundred bucks left over would you put it towards a better cpu or gpu? I have no idea how good this ryzen one is

 

[adam19255]

Ryzen if a perfect CPU in my opinion, and for the rest of the money I would go for a better GPU something like this: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814932013&ignorebbr=1&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-PCPartPicker,%20LLC-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=
