Hello, thank you for taking time to read my post. I have a 5 going on 6 year old computer that I built in 2012. It has served me faithfully all these years but I would like to make some upgrades so I can start streaming again.
**Although I could still use this PC to stream, it crashes, extremely randomly. I have had it crash twice in one hour / not crash in three months. I do not know what causes it and I have not been able to re-create it (extremely frustrating). It has happened playing games, and it has happened just sitting open with nothing running. The effects of the crash are the fans running on high (you can hear them speed up and whirring) and the screen going black.
CPU: Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz (3.7GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor
Motherboard: MSI Z77A-G43 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
Memory: G.Skill Sniper 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
Storage: HD 500|WD SATAIII
Video Card: MSI R7870 Twin Frozr 2GD5/OC Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16
Case: Cool Master HAF 912 (Love this case!)
Power Supply: Corsair Builder Series CX600 V2 600W ATX12V v2.3 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply
I mainly play League of Legends and Minecraft, but also enjoy Warframe and 7 Days to Die from time to time so I would like a computer that runs them well. However, for streaming, I mainly want to stream League of Legends. I can go slightly over my budget, but any re-usable parts would be a plus! Thank you!
Budget: $750~
