Hey All,
I build a computer just over 3 years ago and user it to stream as well as play video games. With the release of newer games it's slowly becoming evident that streaming and gaming from the same PC kind of accelerates the degradation of your build to match frame-rates that I stream at. Currently, I have an i7-4770k and a GTX 970 4GB. I have DDR3 still so from what i've read it's not worth it to upgrade my current system since it's DDR3 and was looking to building a rig strictly for gaming and turning my old rig into a streaming setup. I was curious what people thought about the current PC parts as I have been out of the game for sometime and not so much an enthusiast any longer. Below is a build someone brainstormed for me for gaming and I would like to be able to stream new triple A titles and possible experience VR and 4k at some point with this new build. Any and all opinions are appreciated as my stream gains traction i'd like to have what I need to bring content from the newer games and currently Odyssey has to run on Medium to get 40-50 frames.
