Streaming/Gaming Computer Build

[RyduSan]

Hey guys, I'm "new" to computer builds. I can build them, but I never really get to chose the proper parts.

I'll mainly use this computer for streaming League of Legends, asweall as recording and editing for youtube.
I will also stream Resident Evil series, and maybe CS. Nothing really heavy.

I came up with this build, tell me if it's good, if it's worth the price and what changes should I do if needed, thanks in advance!

Sorry for that, anyway back to the topic, the build is pretty good, but I highly highly recommend swapping the i5 4690k with a i5 4590 and getting the gtx 960 4gb, and for the motherboard I would recommend the Asus Z87-A ATX LGA1150 Motherboard , anyway have a nice day

Looks fine assuming you plan to overclock. If you don't plan to overclock you could drop the cooler, get a H97 motherboard go for the Xeon 1231v3. That should be a bit better for multitasking (but the same for gaming).

Xeon will be better for you if you want to stream and your PSU is bad quality.

What's the difference between the 4690k and the 4590? Is it worth not paying the extra 32$ for the 4690k?
And would I be able to use a dual monitor setup with this?

Also, I was provided with this build, and it's alot cheaper and was promised I'd still be able to stream, record and render games like League of Legends, CS:GO, PS2 and Gamecubes games

Any thoughts about this one?

Yeah that should still do it but any of the builds quoted above are much better. The FX-8 isn't really suited to games because they don't tend to use more than 4 cores, also the GTX 750Ti is kind of an entry level card which should be OK for LoL and CS etc. but may struggle with more demanding games on ultra high settings.

EDIT: You can use dual monitors with any modern graphics card so long as they have the correct ports for you. The i5-4690K is slightly faster (5-10%) and allows you to overclock. Not really worth it unless you're definitely going to overclock because you would also need to buy a more expensive motherboard and PSU.

I'm not going to overclock anyway, so I'll probably go with the i5-4590 and the gtx 960 4gb
Thank you!
