PC Build for Gaming, Streaming and Video Editing, is this good?

[cylindron77]

This is my PC Build plan for Gaming, Streaming and Video Editing. And this is a FULL setup, so that also includes Webcam, Microphone, Router (Wi-Fi), and even tables and chairs. So, this is my setup:

PC:

Case: Corsair Graphite Series 780T
MoBo: Asus PRIME Z370-A
CPU: Intel Core i7 8700K
GPU: ASUS ROG STRIX GeForce GTX 1080
RAM: G.Skill TridentZ 16GB (2x8GB) 3600 MHz
PSU: Seasonic FOCUS SSR-750PX 750W 80+ Platinum

Storage:
SSD: Samsung 860 Evo 1TB
SSHD: Seagate 2TB FireCuda Gaming 7200RPM SATA 6GB/s
HDD: Seagate 4TB BarraCuda Pro 7200RPM SATA 6GB/s

Cooling:
Case Fans: Corsair LL120RGB & LL140RGB
CPU Cooler: Cryorig R1 Universal


Other Accessories:

Monitor: Acer Predator Z35
Keyboard: Cooler Master MK750 (Cherry MX Brown)
Mouse: Logitech G502
Headset: Corsair VOID PRO RGB USB Dolby 7.1

Other Stuffs:

Webcam: Logitech C922x Pro Stream
Router (Wi-Fi): NETGEAR Nighthawk XR500

Table: 2x Walker Edison Soreno 3-Piece Corner Desk
Chair: Vertagear SL5000

Microphone: AT2020USB+
Mic Stand: RODE PSA1
Pop Filter: WindTech PopGard 2000



That's my planning for the whole setup. Total is around $4700. And if you want to see the original document with all the links, this is the link: http://bit.ly/2ytnloq

NOTES:

1. I like RGB very much. So, most of the components are RGB. But, I'm not sure about the Case Fans because it's so expensive. Total is around $320. If there is a case fan with customizeable rgb lights and high performance, please tell me in the comments section. Thanks

2. For the CPU Cooler, I'd rather choose the air one than the water cooled one because I'm afraid if the water spills and break my pc, and I think that water + metal + electricity is very dangerous. So, air cooler is my best option.

3. For the Storage, I'm not sure if it is too many or not. Because I don't play "that" many games, just a few, and I might not need the HDD, and use the money for a better graphics card (GTX 1080 Ti)

The other stuff section is on you completely. It's complete preference in that section.

Everything the computer build looks solid. The SSHD is not really required. The main reason for the SSHD is for people mostly on a budget and need to put their OS and have it boot up quickly while having space for use.

Also, the reason for me to make the statement of the other stuff section about it being a preference is there is a stream by the name of Tyler1. He used to talk about his "Gaming chair" which was just a dinner table chair. It honestly doesn't matter. He is one of the bigger streamers out there.

I do not know much about case fans, so I can't really help you there.

Also, there isn't a huge gap between liquid and air cool now. There are some, but not enough to make a huge difference. You don't plan to overclock too much, do you? If so, maybe it might be need. If not, you're fine with air cool. The main difference between the two is the noise level. Which I doubt you care?

You choose a pretty big SSD, but I do recommend getting an HDD for storage. Video sizes could get pretty big. You could drop the SSHD or the HHD. I do recommend getting a storage device. So you can have your back up videos there and clean it up from time to time.

Oh, and accessories are 100 percent preference. Only you can tell if you like the mouse or keyboard. You can tell if you like the headset. Those are all opinion stuff.

It's a good build but have you considered Ryzen for the extra cores/threads for your streaming/editing? Price to performance it may be a better option and may allow you to get the 1080 ti.

This build has a RGB case, RAM & rear fan.

Also what games did you plan to play? If it's intense games. I would recommend Intel. Intel is more optimized for games currently. Ryzen isn't bad, but there are a few hiccups here and there. I will admit that when it comes to the video editing and etc along those lines, it will outperform Intel.

I know that people who use Adobe often has moved back to Intel because Adobe did something to where Ryzen is messing up a lot. Well YouTubers.

I agree with wildcard on perhaps taking a look at ryzen. If your main focus was just gaming, then I think what you have right now would be perfect with the exception of the storage (maybe take out either SSHD HDD). I remember watching several tech youtubers do streaming tests with i7 8700k vs r7 2700x and it seemed like the ryzen chip would get some lower overall FPS but it would be smoother when they recorded/streamed (less dropped frames). I think you also get a free RGB cpu cooler thats decent with the ryzen cpu too. It also seems like the price would be a little lower if you went with ryzen although i don't know if that really matters too much.
