Hello Experts, recently, I’m researching for a Streaming/Gaming Build, after asking on this forum, I figured out this build, here are the components I selected:
CPU: AMD - Ryzen 5 2600 3.4GHz 6-Core ($165.99 with free shipping on Amazon Prime {I don’t have Amazon Prime})
Motherboard: ASRock - X470 Master SLI/AC ATX AM4 ($144.88 with $10 off promo by PCPartPicker and $3.99 Shipping)
Memory: G.Skill - Sniper X 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3600 ($154.99 with Free shipping)
Storage: Samsung - 860 Evo 500GB 2.5" SSD ($97.87 with Free shipping)
Video Card: MSI - GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6GB GAMING X ($329.99 with $20 off promo by PCPartPicker and $4.99 Shipping)
Case: Phanteks - Eclipse P350X (Black) ATX Mid Tower ($59.99 with Free shipping)
Power Supply: Corsair - RMx (2018) 550W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX ($79.99 with $27.99 off promo by PCPartPicker and Free Shipping)
CPU
I was originally considering a Intel processor, but people suggested AMD for streaming and gaming, since I WILL NOT be overclocking with this CPU, I’m sure the stock cooler would be just fine.
Motherboard
The ASRock motherboard included its own Realtek Sound Card, and WiFi/Bluetooth/LAN Adapters (which is exactly what I need), hope it survives in the long run (not turning the computer off) and is capable of receiving part upgrades, and it comes with the PCPartPicker $10 off promo.
Memory
I choose the cheapest memory per $ with pretty good DDR4-3600 16GB (2*8GB).
Storage
I’m currently planning to only buy one SSD, but I’m wondering if it’s possible to put my Airport Time Capsule’s 3TB HDD in there. (Let me know if it’s compatible)
Video Card
The most important part of this build... I looked up a ton of information and I think this is the best choice, I hope it lasts long and works effectively.
Case
People suggested me to buy this case for cheap & effective airflow, I can also look through the glass on the case and see if my motherboard catches on fire.
Power Supply
I have ZERO knowledge about power supply, people suggest me this one and it’s “Gold Certified”, I need 279W for the entire computer but this one is 550W, I wonder if I can switch it to lower watts.
One of my thought is if I can export the video signal through HDMI from my Motherboard/GPU to my 2012 business LapTop to save performance or should I just stream it through OBS, or is there hardware streaming support from AMD or MSI?
Here’s the $$$ results shown on PCPartPicker
Base Total: $1033.70
Promo Discounts: -$7.99
Mail-in Rebates: -$50.00
Shipping: $8.98
Total: $984.69
My budget is exactly $905, is there something I can pick out, such as the Power Supply?
Thanks for reading through, let’s hope the best.
