PC Build Help

[X Silverback X]

Long story short. I wanna build a pc that will suit my needs. I know I want a i5 6700K intel processor a corsair carbide 400c case and a mechanical drive for storage and a ssd for my boot drive needs.
My needs are for general use but will also be used for dedicated console to pc streaming through twitch. I am trying to have a solid stream for twitch. Everything else... GPU, motherboard, ram, adequate power supply. I really dont know what will suit my needs.
Im looking for a budget build. I will choose my peripherals separately.
Any help from a knowledgeable source would be greatly appreciated.

location and budget? also, is 1080p ur gaming resolution?

 

[X Silverback X]

Im in Georgia(USA). My budget is around $500 but I can spend more if absolutely necessary. My main worry is buying more than what is needed. I would like some future proofing but its not absolutely necessary.

 

[Lucky_SLS]

ok, a 6700k is an i7 or even a k seriies i5 with that case will eat half of ur budget.

so for 1080p with a GTX 1060, this is what it will cost :

and later upgrade to a i7 7700 and 2 more ram sticks[same model] for 16 gigs of ram. went with the same case since i think u r into looks. that g4560 CPU will suffer anything beyong 60 fps and in latest AAA games, u can expect 30-40 fps in 1080p maxed out settings.

 

[X Silverback X]

Yea... I the way the case looks... But its not absolutely necessary. I know that what I like and what I need are likely 2 completely different things. So dont let my choices deter any suggestions you may have. Im prepared to spend more if absolutely necessary but ideally I'd like to keep this build conservative in price but still durable and stable enough to last for a while. My wants are solely base upon what ive read about and heard from big streamers who also make youtube videos.
The reason for the i5 6700K was due to the availability to overclock. Truthfully I dont even know if its needed (overclocking)considering all Im gonna do is be streaming my xbox one gameplay via OBS to twitch and incorporating a facecam. I dont have any intentions to do any direct pc gaming which makes me wonder if I really even need a GPU. Ive researched CPU's with integrated graphics but havent really come to a conclusion as to whether or not I could get by with just the cpu with integrated graphics. Im really a novice whose looking to just get what I need to have a good smooth and stable stream that wont kick me offline every so often.
So feel free to give me your suggestions if you were to build yourself a budget friendly pc but still get the job done. And btw, thanks for your suggestions thus far.

 

[Lucky_SLS]

hmm, so its gonna be 1080p 60fps @ 60MBit or more. u also have to encode that video and stream it from ur Xbox one. so for that,

the integrated graphics in 7500 is HD 630 and is enough for the task. a decent cpu with a DX10 compatible gpu is what is required for OBS streaming. if u plan to do some gaming too, get that ryzen build i posted above.

 

[X Silverback X]

Im liking the build. If you had to integrate a grahics card. What would you suggest? Just to Round out the build and give more support to the cpu...

 

[Lucky_SLS]

u wont need it. but u can go for a gtx1050ti https://pcpartpicker.com/product/wrmxFT/evga-geforce-gtx-1050-ti-4gb-acx-20-video-card-04g-p4-6251-kr . but remeber that if u do game in this system, it will do only a 1080p low-medium in latest AAA games for 60fps. whereas the ryzen build will easily give u 80fps in 1080p ultra settings.

 

[X Silverback X]

Thanks for your help. I really appreciate it

 

[Lucky_SLS]

Glad to help. cheers mate !

 

[X Silverback X]

So i have come into some more funds... Im thinking about the ryzen build now. I notice there wasnt a heat sink on the build. Is that because the processor comes with one?

 

[Lucky_SLS]

yes u r right.
go for the corsair cxm 550 PSU if the sale on seasonic is over.

 

[X Silverback X]

So I noticed the gigabyte GA-AB350 motherboard seems to have more ram slots and additional pc i.e. Slots for a dollar more on pc part picker... ya think it's worth it?

 

[Lucky_SLS]

it is. go ahead with the gaming 3. it got a better audio codec and some RGB too.

 

[X Silverback X]

So I have made a few revisions based upon what's on sale to the ryzen build. Thoughts?

the rx580 r out of stock. u can wait for them n get it or have a 1060 now like i listed. the ripjaws price has shot up. gave u an alternative. better SSD.

 

[X Silverback X]

Would it be worth it to wait on the rx580? Or is the 1060 just as good?

 

[Lucky_SLS]

the rx580 will perform a bit better in DX12 games. and paired with an AMD CPU, it might be a bit more optimized. but nothing wrong with going for a 1060. its great for 1080p and if u dont care abt fps bragging rights, i dont see any reason not to buy one now when an rx580 isnt available.

 

[X Silverback X]

Another thing... Im really torn about a monitor... I know that 144hz and 1ms input lag are kinda the go-to for pc gaming. The 144hz being for a "buttery smooth" experience. Im prepping for destiny 2 on pc. My question really is. Should i worry about 4k?

 

[Lucky_SLS]

for a 4k 60hz, a 1080ti is the card to go for AAA games. and we r seeing 144hz 4k HDR monitors now which demands a 1080ti SLI.
so with a rx580 or a gtx1060, 4k is out of ur reach. sry 🙁

 

[X Silverback X]

Yea 700 for a grahics card at this point is a bit more than I would like to spend. So should I even worry about buying a 144HZ monitor considering I wont be buying a 1080ti card?

 

[Lucky_SLS]

a monitor will usually last longer than a GPU. especially so if its a free sync monitor cuz its cheap. so its worth it. and its for this reason, i would always recommend a radeon card with free sync monitor if its 1080p 144hz.

so if u can wait till the rx580 is re stocked : https://pcpartpicker.com/product/ZBZ2FT/aoc-monitor-g2460pf
if u r going for a 1060 : https://pcpartpicker.com/product/rkphP6/asus-monitor-vg248qe

 

[X Silverback X]

Will the above ryzen build still be fulfill the console streaming I am wanting to do as well as provide a great gaming experience should I want to maintain 1080p @60FPS for pc gaming?

 

[X Silverback X]

Also... I am really bummed the rx580 is still not available... Ive been checking daily for it... Lol Rip.

 

[Lucky_SLS]

u can blame the euthereum miners who bought up all the rx cards. i think its gonna be finding used rx in ebay mybe for a month or so. a gigabyte windforce oc gtx 1060 and that asus monitor is also an equally good choice 😉
